Modification matrix
Updated Jun 18

    Modification matrix

    Once you have created some variants or frozen some requirements in baselines, you will be able to compare differences with this modification matrix. Watch this quick extract for an overview of the Modification Matrix How to use Variants and compare history on your requirements? - Confluence Cloud :

    Use cases

    • If you want to compare modifications between sets of requirements.

    • If you want to build reports to compare requirements present in different baselines or variants.

    • If you want to compare the evolution of requirements over their versions.

    How to use the Modification Matrix?

    • Navigate to Requirements > Modification Matrix.

    • The search bar allows you to search the requirements. (Find more information on how to use the search in the Requirement search documentation.).

    • You can see the first column is the list of requirements, and columns are for versions. It is possible to compare more than 2 versions, you can add more columns with the +. You can select variants (represented with the branch icon), or baselines (represented with the snowflake).

    • In the matrix, the default will show an M for modified requirements. White cells mean the requirement is present and hasn’t been modified compared to the previous column. Grey cells mean te requirement is absent.

    • When enabling the toggle ‘Display text’, you will be able to see the exact content of the requirement.

      • Green highlights will mean the text is new,

      • Red highlights will mean the text is removed.

      • The rest will be unchanged.

    • If you want your report to only display modified requirements between versions, enable the second toggle.

    Can I choose which information to compare?

    It is possible to configure the content visible in the modification matrix and you can use the parameters just below the search bar and combine them.

    There are 4 available comparison types:

    1. Description

    2. Properties, which can be fine-tuned to be able to select a single/several properties.

    3. External properties, which can be fine-tuned to select specific external properties. If you are interested to know how External properties work, follow this link.

    4. Dependencies,

    Can I save a modification matrix ?

    When clicking on Save as, you can save the current view, and reuse it later or share it with other users in the space. The saved matrixes are available in the tab Saved Matrixes, along with the saved Traceability matrixes.
