Modify the entire diagram

When your project doesn't require that you track an item type or if you have a relationship rule to exclude, you can turn it off for the entire diagram.

Scenario for modifying the diagram globally
  • If a specific item type or relationship rule isn’t needed for the Trace Score, you can turn it off for the whole diagram rather than manually turn off each item type or relationship rule in every tile.

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 the entire diagram from Global settings in the Configuration panel. To make selections and exclusions to an individual tile, see Modify a tile in the diagram.

  • Open conversations represent the total number of comments from all items in that tile. By default, this setting is enabled.

To modify the entire 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.
