## Configure context for Issue Matrix

Once you create an Issue Matrix field, you can configure a context different than the default one for this custom field. For more information on configuring a context, check the Atlassian document[ Configuring a custom field](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+a+Custom+Field#ConfiguringaCustomField-configure).

With configuring the context, you can achieve:

1. Different configuration for different projects.
2. Different configuration for different issue types.

In Jira, there is only one default visualization of Sub-tasks and Linked issues for the whole instance, and it is not customizable. Issue Matrix for Jira presents you and your teams with a more flexible approach to visualize sub-tasks and issue links. The app provides multiple features to customize the way you view and present Sub-tasks, Linked Issues, and Issues in Epics according to your needs.

### Example

In the example below, the **Issue Matrix** will be shown only in **Tasks** for **All projects**.

1. When the **Task** Issue type is selected, the Issue Matrix field will be shown only in Tasks.
2. When **Global Context** is selected, the configuration will apply to all Projects.

## Edit the configuration

Review the context configuration in the "Applicable contexts for scheme" and proceed with the Issue Matrix Configuration.
