Follow these steps to specify the assets in
the repository
that are related to the assets that you are submitting and define
the type of relationship.
About this task
Assets are listed as part of the content
if they are of
a relationship type that includes the new asset, or contains the new
asset. The reverse is also true if the asset that you are submitting
contains or includes another asset , that asset will be listed on
the content page for the asset.
Related assets are listed in
the Related Assets section on the General Details page for the asset.
If you search and find an asset to download, the related assets are
listed to make you aware of them. Downloading and evaluating all of
the related assets broadens your perspective and supports successful
asset reuse.
Procedure
To add related assets
to the asset:
- In the Submit an Asset or Modify
an Asset page, below the
attributes, click the Related Assets tab.
- On the Related Assets tab, there
might
be a list of required or suggested relationship types along with required
Asset Types for the related assets. For example,
an asset of the Release type must be related to an asset
of the Business Solution type with the relationship Release
for. Suggested relationships will have a (0+) next
to the name of the relationship, while required relationships will
have a number greater than zero (for example, (1+)).
To add a required or suggested relationship:
- For the appropriate relationship type, in the Asset
Name column click Add asset type.
For example, Add Business Solution.
- In the Add Related Assets
window, enter the name of the asset that you want to include as a
related asset, and then click Search. If possible,
the search results will be limited to the appropriate
asset type.
- Select
one or more assets that
will have a relationship with the asset you are submitting, and then
click Add.
- OPTIONAL: To add related assets that
are not required or
suggested (as configured for the type of asset that you are submitting):
- Click Add Related Assets. If the Add Related Assets button is not
available, an administrator has configured the asset type for
the repository or for
your community in such a way that you cannot add related assets
that are not required or suggested.
- In the Add Related Assets
window, enter the name of the asset that you want to include as a
related asset, and then click Search. The
assets that meet your search criteria are listed in the search results
view.
- Select
one or more assets that
will have a relationship with the asset you are submitting, and then
click Add.
- Select
the Relationship Type between
the asset you are submitting and the asset you selected from the list.
- OPTIONAL: You can
indicate that a relationship exists for only a specific version or
range of versions:
- Click Add
Range.
- To specify a minimum
version for the relationship, select
either is or is greater than and
type a version number in the Lowest version field. To specify no minimum, leave the field blank.
- To specify a maximum version for the relationship, select
either is or is less than and
type a version number in the Highest version field. To specify no maximum, leave the field blank.
- To create a relationship with only the highest version
number in the range you specified, select Relate to the
highest version in the range; or, to create relationships
to all versions within the range, select Relate to all
asset versions in the range.
- Click OK.
- Repeat steps 2 through 4 for all the relationships you want
or need to add to the asset.
What to do next
When you are ready to submit the asset to the repository,
click Save. If you are modifying an existing
asset, click Update.
Important: If there is a legacy (prior to V7.2) review process
established for this asset type, click Submit "As-is" to
bypass the review process, or click Submit to review to
submit the asset into review.
