Trade Study
When you create a trade study, you effectively create a copy of your SIMO grid and its systems and integrations, which becomes a trade study baseline.
This will allow you to:
Make a subsequent analysis of your system and interface design changes
Compare trade studies internally
Send trade studies to external partners etc.
Creating a Trade Study
Navigate to your project and head into your context. You can locate the trade study feature in the left-hand sidebar.
You have two options while creating a trade study:
Empty the grid means that the new trade study's grid will be emptied for all interfaces.
Empty permissions mean that you are the only one with access to the trade study baseline, which means that you need to give new users access to the trade study baseline (If you don't empty permissions, others can view your trade study).
Once the trade study has been created, it will become a trade study baseline. You can now copy the URL and send it to the intended receiver(s).
Trade study analysis
In the new trade study baseline, you can make changes and then run various analyses against the main context you based your trade study on.
Discrepancy analysis allows you to compare interface changes between the trade study baseline and the main context. You start by creating a discrepancy analysis baseline!
