View an item's details by opening its sidebar in multiple ways:
By clicking on an item in the document view
By "Open details" button on the right corner of an item in the main view
By selecting an item and then clicking "Actions" -> "Open details"
The sidebar contains all the relevant information about an item.
Item type
Shows the current item type. You can change it to another existing type or choose the default no type. By changing the type you will automatically get all the attributes from the new type you are changing to. Some content is automatically copied onto the new attributes with AI help if it finds corresponding fields.
Quality
Displays a summary of the quality checks available. Click on it to see all the checks that have passed and the ones that failed.
Attributes
Attributes provide additional metadata also known as fields (or properties) of an item. Typically an Item Type will have some attributes preconfigured but by clicking on the "+" button you can create more attributes of different sorts at an individual item level.
Change view options
In the attributes area, you can also decide which attributes you want to be displayed in the document view and which ones you want to be displayed in the sidebar, which will override the default setting for that item. You can do so by clicking on the eye button and switching visible attributes on and off.
Traces
Types of traces
Parent/Child Relationships
The system shows parent and child traces for items placed under a single item. You can view them as "folders" or "containers" of all items located below the particular parent item.
Related
This is traceability in a more "classical" sense, meaning two items are connected to each other.
Downstream/Upstream
These traces show directional links. Upstream means the item you’re tracing from is the source; downstream means the item you’re tracing to is the target.
Creating traces
From an item's details in the sidebar, by clicking on the "+" button
Clicking on the three dots for an item in the main view and selecting "Trace to"
This action will open a modal where you can choose one or multiple items at once, by selecting the item's name and the type of relation you want to create.
Suggested traces
Trace.Space also offers AI-suggested traces, allowing you to identify items that could be connected. To accept a suggestion you can hover over the trace item ID which will show a preview of that item, and then click on:
link icon to create a relation
double-check icon to mark the item as duplicate
Comments and Reviews
Shows the list of all open comment threads attached to the item.
You can also view resolved threads by selecting that option from the top-right dropdown.
History
Displays the list of all previous versions of an item. Click on any of them to compare it to the current version.
