Creating a Register Matrix

To create a matrix, the register must be configured with two single-select drop-down fields to represent the x and y axis of the matrix, for example, Probability and Impact.

Each drop-down should be associated with a custom list that contains the corresponding number of entries to represent the columns/rows on the matrix. 

• Click Add to display the add register modal with an empty matrix

The fields in the configuration are: 

• Name – This is the name of the matrix that will be displayed to the user when selecting a chart type in the widget (see below) 
• X Label – The label that appears on the x axis 
• X Dimension – The number of columns on the matrix (max is 10) 
• X Field – The single-select drop-down that is used to set the X axis value for the entry. A calculated field that is mapped to a drop-down value list can also be used. 
• Y Label – The label that appears on the y axis 
• Y Dimension – the number of rows on the matrix (max is 10) 
• Y Field – The single-select drop-down that is used to set the Y axis value for the entry 

Set the values and click SAVE, the graphic will update to match the values set:

• Link each cell on the matrix to a set of values and set the colour for the cell. 
• Click the cell to configure it

The cell is mapped to a value from the drop-down associated with the x axis, the drop-down associated with the y-axis, given a score and a colour. On saving the cell values, the graphic on the add matrix modal is updated:

Displaying the Matrix in the Widget

Once a matrix is configured for a register, it becomes available as a chart type in the register widget.
