Where to find it

- From the Database (Matrix), an entity's Open ▾, a test suite's ⋯ or DoDAF.
- Address options:
matrix?root=<id>(rows = its hierarchy),?q=or?rowsq=,?rows=id,id,?cols=<classId>,?colsq=,?rel=<relationId>,?artifact=<id>.
Main actions
- Top bar: Import… (CSV matrix wizard) and Export ▾: Matrix Report (Excel), CSV, Detailed CSV, Importable Matrix (CSV), and Export to a New Artifact… / Export to an Existing Artifact… (a live Matrix artifact that reopens with the same axes).
