    You can do one of the following:

    • Drag a pattern to the Analysis Type box, to associate a pattern to this root element.
      Tip: You can also drag a pattern onto the root element in the tree.
    • Clear this field to remove the associated pattern.

    For more information, see Analysis Type.
    Configuration Filter Filters the root element to take into account either a product configuration filter, or a model version.

    Do one of the following:

    • From the list, select a product configuration filter.
    • From the tree, drag a product configuration filter or a model version.

    For more information, see Filtering Traceability with a Configuration Filter.
    Coverage Takes into account sublevel objects.
    Note: This option appears only for requirements, functional, logical, and physical objects. For more information, see RFLP Coverage.

    Select this option to include objects in the traceability coverage computation.
