Generally it's a good idea to separate the usability requirements from
the functional requirements. Place the usability requirements in the
Supporting Requirements artifact. 

 

By separating the requirements you can discuss, design, and agree on
usability independent of functionality. Putting them together often
confuses the issue and people talk about usability when they think they'
re talking about functionality, and vice-versa.

Thank you, very much! 
In the example below, the usability requirement will be separated from 
the related funcional requirement. It's a good idea to put this 
usability requirement in a subsection of the funcional requirement? 

i.e.: 

1. Functional requirements 

1.1. A functional requirement 
text... 

1.1.1 Usability (requirement of 1.1 requirement). 
The Submit button is inactive until the following information has been 
entered: Name (etc). 

In your idea, should I separate all usability requiments in the 
usability section?
