Display options for elements

You can display the elements in a view in different ways.

To display the elements, click Navigation Bar > Display. The display options for elements are listed in the following table:

Table 1. Element display options
Display option Description
Display the elements in a tree structure The numbers that are displayed after the title of the top folder, 1/3, indicate that the view consists of 1 folder and 3 elements.
Display the elements in a table structure The table structure displays the information in a view in columns and rows. Each column contains an attribute and each row contains an element. All information in the elements are included.
Display the elements in an editable table The table structure displays the information in a view in columns and rows. You can edit most attributes, display complex attributes, perform nested sorting, and reorder columns.
Display the elements in a relational graph  
Display how many elements that have a certain attribute value Use this option to view attribute statistics.
Display the elements in a traceability matrix In the traceability matrix, you can display all of the links that exist between elements in two views. You might use this to see how requirements are connected to use cases or test cases.
Display the elements in a Gantt chart  
Display how the value of a choice attribute has changed over time Use this option to display the choice attribute sets. To make this feature available, activate the change log for the choice attribute. For more information see the Configure attributes section in “Modules.”
Display news in this view Use this option to display all of the logged changes to the elements in the view. To view and edit the elements, click the element links. This option shows the present attribute values of the element that might differ from the values that the element had when the change was made. To see news for the entire workspace, in the Information menu, select What's New?.
Create and activate baselines  
Compare baselines  
Generate a report of the current view You can generate a report from anything that is displayed in the product by clicking the Report icon. Some reports might not look the same as they do in a web browser.
Click to edit filter  
Note: Only the views that you can access are available on the Display menu. If your view is configured to display baselines, you can view them. Workspace administrators can edit the view by clicking the view link to the right of the icons in the toolbar. Each view is configured to display a subset of the toolbar icons. If an icon is grey, it is disabled. For more information, see “Views.”
