A New Year represents a fresh start and the perfect opportunity to improve a certain aspect of your life. Making resolutions doesn't always have to be about losing weight or starting a hobby. What about creating better solutions for your workflow? In our webinar, "Tackling Resolutions With Innoslate," Dr. Steven Dam walks you through starting new with Innoslate through migration, integration, organization, gap analysis, and more. He also used this time to show off the new and improved, Innoslate 4.7.

Proprietary of SPEC Innovations® January 19, 2023 Dr. Steven Dam
• Built-in integrations with key tools
• GitHub (software)
• MatLab (math functions)
• STK (geospatial analysis)
• Most design engineering
tools should not be
directly integrated at the
systems level
• Can use REST and Java APIs to
integrate with other tools

7. Organizing Information in Innoslate®
• Develop a Data Storage Plan
• Contains schema usage and
extensions (labels, etc.)
• Use Dashboard to help users
access key information about
the project
• Create workflow
• Baseline documents
• Use Test Cycles in Test Suites
• Use Saved Queries in Database View

8. Gap Analysis Using Spider Diagram and
Traceability Matrix
• Spider Diagram shows all the
related information to an object
• When changes occur, you can
quickly identify potentially
impacted related entities
• Traceability Matrix can aid in
finding potential problems with
related information using the
traceability assist/suspect assist
