Defining custom condition patterns

- Double-click the glossary table icon.
- Open the Specification window of the newly created Glossary table.
- Change the Applied Stereotype property value to <<requirementTerms>>.
- Click Close.
The new glossary table with the stereotype <<requirementTerms>> is created. You can now define your own condition patterns by adding them in the Glossary Table.
