How can I directly access linked requirements from the defects module?

Hello. I am looking at some defects, and they have a link to the TEST RUN but there is no link in the defect that takes me back to the requirement. How do I see the requirement associated with the defect without having to go through all the extra steps of looking up the related test in Test Plan, then going to the linked requirement? I would like to have direct access from the defect to the linked requirement to see if that particular requirement is being met by the failed test step.

In order to directly access the requirement from the defect, the user will need to link the defect to both the test or test step and the requirement when they create it. There are a couple of ways to go about this. One way is in the grid view in the 'Defects' module (For existing or newly created defects) - Select the defect in the grid, click the 'Linked Entities' tab, then click the 'Others' tab in the lower grid. There they will need to click the drop down arrow for the 'Link from Requirement' button, then select the value 'Select..' from the menu that displays. In the 'Select Requirements' window, they will select the requirement that the defect will need to be linked to. Another way to link the defect to the requirement is from within the 'Defect Details' window. After submitting the defect, the user will click the value displayed in the 'Defect ID' column. In the 'Defect Details' window, click the 'Linked Entities' link in the left column, and in the 'Others' tab, click the drop down arrow for the 'Link from Requirement' button, then select the value 'Select..' from the menu that displays. In the 'Select Requirements' window, they will select the requirement that the defect will need to be linked to. Once the requirement has been linked to the defect, the user can click the link displayed in the 'Linked Entity Name' column in the 'Linked Entities' / 'Others' tab within the Defects module to directly access the linked requirement.
