9️⃣ Matrix: Make Evident Decisions Between Multiple Options Fast

The ITONICS Matrix enables users to analyze, track, monitor, and re-evaluate a distinct set of content for decisions.

Matrix configuration

On the matrix visualization, each bubble represents one or more pieces of content. You find the matrix visualization in the left main menu when you want to browse existing views or want to create a new view. 

When entering the matrix view, you can change the content elements displayed by filtering for what you want to see [1]. You can also edit the settings of the matrix [2]. You can define the different properties for the axes, what should be displayed by the size, and the colors.

Below those settings, you can also activate zones, and when you want to change the names and the positions/sizes of the zones, you can enable the editor. You can also show the labels and the legend. 

ITONICS_MatrixTo save a matrix view, find the save action at the top right of the matrix [1]. Provide a title and indicate whether you want to keep it private or share the view with everyone in your workspace. You will find all saved matrix views in the main menu to the left under "Matrix".

You will also find all matrix views when you click on the title at the top left corner [4]. From here, you can also create a new matrix view. Next to it, via the three dots, you can edit, duplicate, or delete a matrix view. Next to the three dots, you will also find the option to share a view via email with named users.

Please note:

  • Lines on the matrix, representing numerical ratings, are always shown centered on the line
  • Instead, lines representing list values are always shown in the middle of the value area, i.e., between two values
  • The properties available for the axes, color, and sizes are defined from the element configuration and your definition of dropdowns and rating criteria.

Bubble positioning

The bubbles’ positions and visual appearance are based on how you and your colleagues categorize and rate them. Selecting different properties for the axes [2] will automatically rearrange the elements' positions. To change an axis property, click on the property descriptor of an axis and exchange the property according to your needs.

If several elements fall into the same categorization, they are grouped, and the number of elements is displayed [3]. Clicking on such a grouping will show you all the content elements within. When you click on a single bubble or title, the content stack view opens to the right side, from which you can consume further information.

Note on Numerical Rating Properties on Matrix:

  • When using Numerical Rating Properties in the Matrix visualization, please be aware that overlapping elements may occur. This happens because the Matrix groups ratings based on discrete buckets, and numerical scales (e.g., 0–100, 1–10) can vary widely, leading to inconsistent grouping behaviour.

  • Recommendation:
    To ensure correct grouping and avoid overlaps, we currently recommend using Rating Properties (e.g., Low / Medium / High or 1–5 stars), which are designed to group elements properly in the Matrix.
