Modify a tile in the diagram

When you don’t need to track or include certain data in a specific tile, you can modify the diagram by turning on or off specific items or relationship rules in that tile.

Scenarios for modifying a tile
  • If a specific item or relationship rule isn’t needed for the Trace Score, you can exclude it from the tile without excluding it from other places in the diagram.

  • If a specific item or relationship rule isn't applicable to a certain phase of your project, you can turn it off to reduce noise.

Important considerations
  • All item types and relationship rules are turned on by default.

  • When an item type is turned off, all relationship rules associated with that item type are automatically turned off.

  • Selections and exclusions are made to an individual tile from the specification tiles. To make selections or exclusions from Global settings, see Modify the entire diagram.

To modify one tile in the diagram:

  1. From the top navigation, select the Actions menu, then select Configuration settings.

    In the Live Trace Explorer UI, the Actions menu shows the View saved diagrams menu and Configuration settings option is selected.

    The Configuration panel opens to the left of the diagram and lists all the specification tiles that exist within the diagram. By default, all item types are included.

    Configuration panel lists all specification tiles in the diagram.
  2. To turn off an item type:

    1. In the Specification tiles section, select the tile you want to modify (for example, Product Requirements).

      The Configuration panel shows that the Product Requirements tile is selected.
    2. Select the green toggle switch for the item type you want to turn off. The toggle switch is gray when the item is turned off.

      The green toggle switch is selected for Product Requirement.
    3. Select Apply.

      A confirmation message notifies you that the diagram was updated.

    4. (Optional) To include the item type again, select its gray toggle switch to turn on the item. The switch appears green with a checkmark to indicate that the item type is again included in the diagram.

  3. To turn off a relationship rule:

    1. In the Specification tiles section, select the tile that includes the relationship rule you want to turn off.

      The Configuration panel shows that the 12C Interface tile is selected.
    2. Select the arrow icon to expand the list.

      The green toggle switch is selected for Block Requirement and Design Description.
    3. Select the blue checkbox next to the relationship rule you want to turn off (for example, Validation). The checkbox is unchecked and gray when the relationship is turned off.

      The blue checkbox is selected for three relationship rules, meaning they are turned on.

      In the example below, relationship rule Validation is turned off.

      The blue checkbox is selected for two relationship rules (on) and deselected (off) for Validation.
    4. Select Apply.

      A confirmation message notifies you that the diagram was updated.

    5. (Optional) To include the relationship again, select the gray checkbox to turn on the relationship. The checkbox appears blue with a checkmark to indicate that the relationship is again included in the diagram.
