Creating collaboration links from module views

If the database is configured to allow collaboration links, you can create a link from a module view to an artifact in any of the projects that are configured.

Before you begin

To create collaboration links, you must have create access to the module. You must also have an edit package. Your current package is displayed in the header of the Rational® DOORS® Web Access page.

About this task

Use the collaboration link type that is associated with the integrated application that you intend to link to: The following procedure uses the Implemented by link type as an example. The procedure is similar for other link types.

Procedure

  1. In the module explorer, browse to the view that you want to link. You can select an existing artifact to link to, or you can create an artifact.
  2. To select an existing artifact, click Links > Create Implemented by > project_name > Select > artifact_name When prompted, log on to the database. A link is created between the view and the selected resource.
  3. To create an artifact, click Links > Create Implemented by > project_name > Create . The delegated database starts up.
  4. Log in to the database when prompted, and then create the resource as instructed in the delegated application. A link is created to the artifact, and a link is created back from the artifact to the view.
