FRAME_PORTAL_EVOLUTION_VIEW
This view is designed to provide visibility on a project's evolution from a quantity and quality standpoint. It highlights variations of main technical size and functional weight indicators, as well as content change (added, updated, deleted objects).
This view requires access to at least one Application.

Main window panels
Four main panels are available:
| Quantity Evolution (absolute figures) | Shows the evolution of Quantity information between the current and previous snapshot on a Module basis using absolute figures. Absolute figures help identify where the largest evolutions took place:
|
| Quantity Evolution (%) | Shows the percentage evolution of Quantity information between the current and previous snapshot on a Module basis using relative (%) figures). Relative figures help identify where the largest evolutions took place, relative to each module size. I.e., it's easier to identify a module that doubled its size with relative figures while absolute figures may have masked this. |
| Quality Status and Evolution | Shows the current status and evolution of Quality information between the current and previous snapshot on a Module basis:
|
| Estimated Effort (Absolute and Split) | Displays the effort associated with the evolution of each module, as an absolute figure and as a relative figure. Absolute figures help identify where the largest effort was necessary and relative figures help identify where the largest effort was necessary, relative to the overall effort necessary for each module - the total effort is also listed. I.e., it's easier to identify a module that mostly underwent re-engineering by looking at a near-100% effort spend on artifact updates, with very few additions and some deletions. Note that the effort estimation:
