Configurable Browse and Link

Configurable Browse and Link functionality provides the ability to link to documents within a Calyx RIM entity. This functionality is available for all entities except assemblies.

Using an XML configuration file, you can add a link attribute to an entity, which consists of a link type drop-down list and hyperlink text box. Then, as you would for a reference entity, you define a link type and a hyperlink that targets DMS content (including file system), a Calyx RIM assembly, the URL to an external site, or the URL to an internal Calyx RIM location using the Copy URL function.

The following conditions apply to the configurable browse and link functionality:

  • All XML configurations should be made through the Regulatory Information Management (RIM) Client Enablement group.
  • To create the link type drop-down list and hyperlink text box, the XML configuration file uses two extra text fields per link. All Calyx RIM entities have 20 extra text fields, except for PDS details which have 10 extra text fields. This means you can have a maximum of 10 links per Calyx RIM entity, and a maximum of 5 links per PDS detail.
  • Standard DMS security applies to DMS content links. You are prompted for your DMS ID and password if you are not already logged in.
  • For DMS content links, if the most current version is selected (whether it is the only version, or one of many), the link binds to CURRENT. If a non-current version is selected, the link binds to that specific version.
  • Calyx RIM assembly links can be made to standalone assemblies, assembly templates, views, and sequence assemblies.
  • External URL links must include the http:// prefix.
  • Configurable browse and link functionality is not available for the data administration pages.
