Turn a module selection into a named collection
Collection Creation creates an IBM DOORS Next collection from selected module artifacts or a module view. Coordinators define the name, destination folder and available collection type without leaving the module. Use it when a review, exchange or handover needs a defined set of existing content. The widget performs creation and displays progress after membership and destination are chosen.
Workflow at a glance
Editorial overview based on vendor documentation.
- Select the contentOpen the module and choose artifacts or a view defining membership.
- Define the collectionEnter a recognisable name and select its folder and type.
- Create and inspectMonitor creation and verify the result against the intended selection.
Inputs and results
Inputs are the selection, name, destination and type. Output is a new collection at the selected location. The documented purpose is grouping artifacts; duplication, transformation or baselining is not established.
Technical fit and boundaries
An open module and selected artifacts or view are required. Available types and destination access depend on project configuration. Confirm release compatibility, deployment, creation permissions and behaviour for the chosen artifact types.
Evaluation questions
Can a folder be the source? The documented source is module content; the folder picker sets the destination. Is the collection immutable? Creation alone does not establish a baseline or frozen snapshot.
Plan your evaluation
Provide the release, module/view, expected membership, type, destination and baseline or formal-review requirements. Confirm conditional vendor eligibility and implementation/support scope in the offer.
