Chapter 001
Overview and operating concept
Understand projects, documents, work items, traceability and collaborative status flags.

One source, multiple views
MEDIOORA manages projects, documents and central work items such as requirements, architecture, designs, tests and bugs. A work item can appear in multiple live documents without being copied. Changes are reflected in lists, metadata, traceability and document blocks; historical document versions remain frozen.
Main areas
- Project Home: metrics, status counts, custom information and shortcuts.
- Documents: collaborative editor, work-item blocks, comments, versions and export.
- Work Items: filters, metadata, bulk actions and CSV.
- Traceability: coverage, rules and conflicts.
- Variables: reusable project content.
Flags
| Flag | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| LOCK | Another user is editing the item. | Wait or contact the named editor. |
| NEW | A newer remote revision is available. | Review and refresh the block. |
| ? | An upstream linked item changed. | Perform an impact assessment, then clear the flag. |
| ! | A trace target is missing. | Repair the link. |
