In addition to the supported templates found in the Templates article, Requirement offers a custom template feature to empower users to tap into their creativity to brainstorm uniquely tailored templates specifically for their team's needs.

How To Use Custom Templates

Requiremint will restructure the content, adjust language for better clarity, and add additional details for further understanding based on the custom template provided. The custom template feature is available when successfully logged into Requiremint and viewing the editor.

To demonstrate how the custom template feature works let's consider a simple scenario where a customer withdraws cash from a bank machine as a basis for a step by step tutorial.

1. Enter text into the editor A screenshot depicting text being entered into the Requiremint editor.

In the above example, the template created includes some familiar terms of a software system such as title, description, functional and non-functional requirements and assumptions. Play around with the styling, headings, sub-headings, and overall structure.
