You create a solution configuration snapshot to be able to use the QA view. You can use the QA view to explore the configuration of solutions. 
A solution configuration snapshot is an image of the configuration at a specific date and time. A solution configuration snapshot consists of:

• Several elements: business processes, flows, activities, applications, and requirements. 
  
• The relations between these elements.

You create a solution configuration snapshot in these cases:

• The first time you want to explore the solution configuration. 
  
• If changes are made to the solution configuration. So, these changes become available for the solution configuration explorer.

Always create snapshots in the background in batch, as the creation of a snapshot can take quite some time. If you frequently make changes to the solution configuration, you can also define the recurrence.
