Creating links

You can create a link if you have modify access to the object where the out-link is created, and read access to the object where the in-link is created. You must also have acquired an edit package. When you create a link, the default link module is used. If the default link module does not exist, it is created.

Before you begin

Make sure that you have an Edit package. Your current package is displayed in the header of the Rational® DOORS® Web Access page.

About this task

The Options menu is displayed when you click the arrow display edit menu icon in the top right corner of any attribute in the grid. The arrow is displayed in each attribute in the current row, and when you hover the cursor over any attribute in the grid. The link operation applies to the whole object, not the attribute where you open the Options menu.

Procedure

  1. Open the Options menu from any attribute of the object that you want to link.
  2. Click Start Link.
  3. Open the Options menu from any attribute of the object that you want to link to or from. Select Make Link To Start or Make Link From Start. If you select Make Link To Start, a link is created from the object where you started the link to the current object. If you select Make Link From Start, a link is created from the current object to the object where you started the link.

What to do next

If you start a link, and you want to cancel the link start, open the Options menu from any object, and then click Clear Start Link.
