Adding columns

You can add columns to a traceability matrix view.

   or
   
   In the matrix view toolbar (on the upper left corner of the grid), click the Select Rows/Columns tool.
   
   
   The Select Row/Column Objects dialog box appears.
   
2. Click the Column Object Selection tab to display the list of objects selected for columns.
   
3. In the Column Object Selection page, click the Add New Column Object tool.
   
   
   
   • The Select Design Objects dialog box appears for a matrix view with design objects links.
     
     You can select objects from any design model open in the workspace
   • The standard Open dialog box appears for a matrix view with external files links
   
   
   Note: The Add New Column Object tool is not available for a matrix view with requirement objects links, because requirements from different models cannot be linked

5. Click OK in the Select Design Objects dialog box, or Open in the Open dialog box.
6. Click OK in the Select Row/Column Objects dialog box.
   
   The new column appears in the traceability matrix view.
