In order to find the component within the template catalog, you have to choose a cycle name on the first line of the screen and a phase name at the left of the screen. The component is located in this cycle/phase combinations:

In order to rename an existing element, just click it and start typing. New items can be added by different means. At first you always have to select an existing item by clicking on it. The selected / focused item has a black frame around the box.

Using the keyboard:

• Insert a new item below the focus by pressing [Enter]
• Insert a new sub item by pressing [Shift]+[Enter]

Using the ribbon menu:

Select the Home ribbon

• Click New Requirement After to insert a new item after the focused item
• Click New Requirement to insert a new sub item
• Click New Function or New CTQ to create a relation to a VOC

The ribbon menu will always adapt to the selected item. Menu commands that belong to another tree, e.g. Functional Requirements, will insert new items into this tree and connect them to the selected item by adding a relation to the appropriate matrix. This way you can edit the full cascade of QFD matrices in one single mind map diagram.
