Enabling suspect links tracking applies the <<track>> stereotype to the relationships between the Requirements and the design elements. The stereotype contains a fingerprint tag dedicated to identifying changes at the relationship end (e.g., a Requirement by default). It also contains a version tag for storing the Teamwork Cloud server project version when showing changes between relationship end elements.

The <<track>> stereotype is applied to the relationships automatically right after enabling the suspect links tracking, changing the tracking scope, or creating a new relationship (in the case when suspect links are already enabled) if the following criteria are satisfied:

  • The relationship type is Satisfy, Verify, Refine, or deriveReq. If custom suspect links tracking is created, the relationship type, direction, source, and target element types should be as defined in the configuration.
  • The relationship itself and the relationship's source and target elements are under the specified tracking scope.



Upon enabling suspect links tracking, the stereotype <<track>>, which contains fingerprint and version tags, is applied to the relationship 'Satisfy'.
