Written by Karl Larsson on 25 March 2025. Posted in Product News.

We are just days from releasing Aligned Elements V3.1, and we are truly excited about all the new features being made available to Aligned Elements Users.

We have already talked extensively about the new AI Features, new UI improvements and an enhanced Search/Query experience. But there is even more in the Easter Bunny's bag this year!

Join us in our "What's new in Aligned Elements V3.1" live webinar on Thursday April 3rd 14:00 CET for an in-depth walk through of all new features and changed.

Here are 10 more excellent reasons to upgrade to Aligned Elements V3.1 and make your Technical File complete, correct and consistent at a higher tempo and with less effort.

1. All Tasks in all Projects in One View

Would you like to see all your assigned Tasks across all Projects? This is what the Project Overview is all about! All projects listed, in a single view with all your open tasks, upfront, at your fingertips with a single click.

2. ReqIf Import Support

Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF) defines such an open, non-proprietary exchange format and is supported by many requirement management and ALM tools. Our Aligned Elements Importer is now compatible with the ReqIF format, and ReqIF data can now be converted and imported into your Aligned Elements projects.

3. Show previous Test Results In Test Run

First things first. When starting a new Test Run, it makes sense to start out with previously failed tests to make sure they are fixed in the newest version of your device. The result from the previous execution can now optionally be displayed in the Test Run to assist you in doing the optimal prioritization of your tests to run.

4. Create Unique Test results per Test Run

Need more flexibility in keeping your Test Results apart? With a simple configuration change, unique Test Results can now be created per Test Case - Configuration - Test Run combination.

5. Linked Project Overview / Show linked traces in child projects

Which 'parent' projects are linking/using this project? The answer can now be found in the Linked Project View in Manage Projects. Furthermore, you can now open a child project and see linked traces in the Trace To and Trace From tabs from all 'parent' projects.

6. Probability in Harms

More on the medical device ìndustry's most flexible Risk Management: several Aligned Elements customers have requested the possibility to define not only the Severity in the Harm object but also the Probability of Occurrence of Harm. Grouping these two parameters in the Harm is now optionally available in Aligned Elements V3.1.

7. Email users from Manage Users

Planning a maintenance? Want to inform about a template change? Need to communicate urgently with your Aligned Elements user base? Use the Email Users function in Manage Users to reach all your Aligned Elements users with a single email.

8. Include Comments in Excel Export

The nested/threaded comments is a much revered feature, making online collaboration truly happening. We expand on that feature with our previously mentioned search-by-query option in Comments and now also, including the exporting of comments to our Excel Reports from the Chapter View.

9. Reset Review Assessments on Change

More on Design Reviews: a new optional behavior is to reset existing Review assessments when an object under review is modified. This supports the review scenario: assess => modify => re-assess. Reviewers are automatically notified via email if an assessed object under review has been changed and a re-assessment is expected

10. Performance Improvements

Aligned Elements V3.1 brings performance enhancements in several areas, including Review management, Query management and Chapter management. This will decrease load times on frequently performed functions and improve the user experience, enabling faster operations and get you to a complete Technical File as rapidly as possible.
