Turn prepared references into embedded content
Embed Artifacts finds configured strings in IBM DOORS Next module primary text and replaces them with corresponding pictures or artifacts. It can create a chosen relationship to the embedded item’s base artifact. Maintainers use it on imported or prepared content containing markers. One variant matches “figure” and “ref” through folders and attributes; another collects artifacts in one module for embedding in another.
Workflow at a glance
Editorial overview based on vendor documentation.
- Define matching rulesIdentify markers, source locations, lookup attributes and link type.
- Resolve contentCollect or match pictures/artifacts using the selected script variant.
- Embed and verifyInspect updated primary text, rendered content and base-artifact relationships.
Inputs and results
Inputs are marker-bearing text and identifiable source content. Outputs are embedded pictures/artifacts and, when configured, links. Matching depends on customer-specific attributes and source organisation.
Technical fit and boundaries
The script is module-only. Examples describe distinct variants, not arbitrary marker syntax. Confirm the variant, supported release, deployment, ambiguity handling and editing/link permissions. Trial representative content before broad updates.
Evaluation questions
Can a vague caption identify a picture? The mechanism requires lookup rules and matching attributes. Is the result just a hyperlink? No; it embeds content and can additionally create a base-artifact relationship.
Plan your evaluation
Provide markers, target text, source locations, matching fields, link type, duplicate/missing-match cases and expected results. Confirm supplied variant, configuration, eligibility and support in the offer.
