matrix profiles are not in exported ref data
« on: May 08, 2013, 07:49:41 pm »
Hi, I've build quite a list of matrix profiles for all types of traceability that the team likes to see when checking relations. I would like to make these matrix profiles accessilbe for all by including them in the set of reference data, but there seems to be exported nothing.... Is there some hidden requirement for exporting the matrix profiles? In that case, please let me know!

Matrix profiles can't be exported as reference data because they include a package id. The package ids are non-portable between models so your profile would be meaningless in any other model.

Well OK, but why is it presented in the list of options to include in the Reference Data? It states Diagram Matrix Profiles, or is something else mentioned by that?

A Diagram Matrix Profile is a Swimlanes Matrix, which divides a diagram into rows and columns. It is also referred to as a Model Profile. It is nothing to do with a Relationship Matrix Profile.
