Importing Applicative Data from an Inserted Component

 

This task shows you how to insert applicative data from an inserted document.
  You can now choose to always create imported applicative data in a DMU Review at highest level. See Customizing DMU Navigator, DMU Navigator.
  When you insert a CATProduct, you can now recuperate its associated applicative data (see Customizing DMU Navigator, DMU Navigator for options to manage the insertion of applicative data).

One of the three results will occur when you insert a CATProduct containing applicative data:

  • if the option to import applicative data was not chosen in the DMU Navigator Settings, then no applicative data will be inserted when you click OK to insert your document in step 5 above.
  • if the option to import applicative data was chosen and the option to automatically insert all applicative data was chosen, then all applicative data will be inserted.
  • if the option to import applicative data was chosen and the option to present a user prompt was chosen, then a dialog box like the following will appear:

  1. To de-select any of the applicative data subsets or items, click the appropriate checkbox.

  2. Click OK to confirm.
    The applicative data will be inserted in the form of a Review (to manage a Review, see DMU Review).
  Importing applicative data at a later moment

  1. Click the Cancel button in the Import applicative data dialog box.
    The CATProduct will be inserted, but no applicative data will be imported.

  2. At a later moment, select Edit -> Import applicative data.
    The Import applicative data dialog box appears. You de-select the applicative data as above.

  3. Click OK to confirm.
    The selected applicative data will be inserted in the form of a Review.

For each CATProduct inserted containing applicative data, a review will be created to embed the newly inserted applicative data:

  • If the inserted CATProduct contains reviews, they will be copied and linked under R1.

  • If there is an active review when inserting the CATProduct, R1 will be created under that review. If not, R1 will be created at the review root level.

  • The life cycle of copied applicative data is linked to the review.
     
The importing of applicative data is one-shot only.

The imported applicative data is a simple copy of the applicative data of the inserted component. Any subsequent modifications to the applicative data of the original document will not be reflected in the applicative data imported during the insert component command.

 
Imported applicative data can be re-ordered. See Reordering Applicative Data.
