Using Traceability Matrix

What is the Traceability Matrix editor?

The Traceability Matrix editor allows you to view and edit Trace relationships between repository artifacts in a spreadsheet-like interface.

You can view traceability of records of multiple types.

NOTE: Multiple record types can be selected in TopTeam version 12.1. In TopTeam versions lower than 12.1, you can select one record type.

You can access this editor from TopTeam main menu > Traceability > Traceability Matrix > Query. Refer to the images below.
