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:
From the top navigation, select the Actions menu, then select Configuration settings.
The Configure Settings 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.
To turn off an item type:
In Configuration Settings under Specification tiles, select the specification tile you want to modify (for example, System).
Click the green toggle switch for the item type you want to turn off. The toggle switch is gray when the item is turned off.
Click Apply.
A confirmation message notifies you that the diagram was updated.
Note
To include the item type again, click 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.
To turn off a relationship rule:
In the Configuration Settings panel under Specification tiles, select the specification tile that includes the relationship rule you want to turn off.
Select the arrow icon to expand the list.
Select the blue checkbox next to the relationship rule you want to turn off (for example, User Need > Validation). The checkbox is unchecked and gray when the relationship is turned off.
In the example below, relationship rule Validation is turned off.
Click Apply.
A confirmation message notifies you that the diagram was updated.
Note
To include the relationship again, click 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.
