Matrix Profiles
You can use the Relationship Matrix as a monitoring tool, to track the development of elements and relationships in particular packages or pairs of packages over time. In this case you would re-use the same combinations of field settings many times. It is very easy to store a combination as a Matrix Profile, so that later you can recall it for use whenever you need it.
