A user story describes a functional requirement, which is automatically generated from the details provided to a task and its accompanying system tasks. You can further define a user story by linking it to other artifacts.

For example, you can include non-functional requirements such as accessibility, availability, performance, or reliability. You can also include other business rules such as constraints, data computations, or security policies.

1. Access the generate user story artifact.
2. Click the **ST-Business Rules** or **ST-Non-Functional Requirements** tab.
3. Click within the rich-text field to display the formatting bar.
