Input Streams () enable business and quality teams to work in seamless cadence with the Agile development team. Using Micro Focus Connect, Input Streams allow you to pull in external Requirements and Defects into the Rhythm Breakdown view for you to review and discuss. If you then choose to Accept them, new Epics/Defects are created in Rhythm with clear traceability back to the original external asset. This link provides a mechanism for feedback to the original author.
Each Project in Rhythm can contain a single Input Stream for Requirements and a single Input Stream for Defects. After an administrator sets up the Input Stream for the Project, you actively Accept or Reject each item that you want to add to the Backlog.
