## How to Assign a CI Matrix to a CM Project

| ### What to do:
| In order to work through this example you must have completed the examples Set up a CM Project and Assign a Model to a CM Project.
| Select Manager > Configuration Management > CM Project Settings. The CM Project Settings mask is opened.
| Search for the CM project Project-01 Ball Pen.
| Select the CI Matrix tab.
| To change to insert mode click .

20 | MODEL BASIC | 1 |
30 | MODEL BASIC | 2 |
40 | MODEL BASIC | 3 |
50 | MODEL DELUXE | 2 | S-2
60 | MODEL DELUXE | 3 | S-3
| Please note that unit and sequence number have to be in ascending order within one model!
| The CI Matrix should look as follows:
| The CI Matrix indicates which unit of each model is planned to be built/delivered in which sequence and at what date.
| Please note that it is required to assign a serial number in order to create the As-Built Configuration! Since it is possible to manually assign a serial number to any model listed, this step can be performed later on!
