Answer:
The function called insertTypicalDocs in pwdoc.inc does this.

It adds modules according to the selections of project type and project approach.

Hi,

I want to customize the project startup wizard. At the moment it is possible to select following attributes

Project type
* Software
* System
Project approach
* Informal
* Formal
* Very Formal

My aim is to add properties to those list and I also would like to add some different typical modules. Does this work? If yes, which files do I have to touch or where can I find those settings within Doors.

Cheers,
Tom

The code for the project startup wizard in in DOORSHOME/lib/dxl/wizard/project.
It is not decrypted, so you can change it.

Module types are defined as templates.
Look in projwiz.dxl, line 286 onwards. You will see declarations of two string arrays for the module types.

The first is a list of names for the module types. These are the displayed to the user for selection.
The second is a list of dxl file names that contain templates for the module types.
There is a one-to-one mapping between these arays.

Add a new module type name to the first array and add the corresponding dxl file name to the second array.
Place yuor new dxl template file in template sub-directory.

I have not tested this, but if it is written correctly this should work.

Tom,

Not to sure why you would want to do this but making the changes you discuss would involve changing the source code. Have a look in

C:\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS_8.3\lib\dxl\wizard\project\projwiz.dxl

Hi again,

thanks for your help! I now made it to get a new "project approach" to appear in the drop down list, but i am totally confused about how I can make it to get modules assigned to this new approach to show up as "typical modules".
Does anyone know?

Thanks, Tom
