Impact matrices can be created on 
Impact models only.

Click on the "
Create matrix…" button in the tool bar or use the one of the selected Impact model contextual menu. -
Select the Impact matrix.

Click on "OK" to complete the new matrix creation.
Populate the Impact Matrix
In the Impact matrix, you may drag & drop the model elements you want to analyse the impact between. They can be added freely as line or column, to display exactly what you need.

Drag the elements into the
symbol of the column or line and release the mouse button.
Impact Matrix
On each cell, an arrow indicates the direction of the impact links and a number indicates the number of impact causes.
Further modifications of the model will make the matrix refresh automatically as the Impact model is updated.
