This program primarily targets users who maintain the quality management system, i.e. create document, approve, create registration forms and databases, build registration workflows, create and maintain handbooks, users, security and more.

Visual Quality - Requirements

The module Requirements allows you to create and maintain requirements in the quality management system. These can be internal requirements or external requirements.
