Import Assemblies

You can only import assemblies using the Import Assemblies Wizard. Other content can be added to an assembly using different methods.

When importing an assembly file, the documents in the file are not automatically synchronized with the mapped DMS - they will appear as placeholders. This prevents import failures should the referenced DMS not exist in the current system. Run a DMS synchronization immediately after importing to assign placeholders automatically to the DMS documents.

You can import any of the following:
  • An existing standalone or sequence assembly
  • Part of a standalone or sequence assembly
  • An entire template or part of a template
  • An application view of the following types:
    • Submitted
    • Working
    • Sequence
    • Approved
Keep in mind the following:
  • If you are importing an assembly that used versions 2.0 or earlier of the Study Tagging File specification, these are imported and the appropriate assembly is created, but any subsequent sequences must use the latest (v2.2) DTD.
  • You can import an assembly root or folder into an assembly root or a folder only, as long as the target folder is not the child of a leaf.
  • When you right-click a folder to import it, the whole assembly is imported, not just the selected folder. To import only part of an assembly, you must use the drag-and-drop function.
  • Paper elements cannot be imported using a drag-and-drop operation from the import dialog.
  • When exporting and then importing an assembly or template, TOC elements must be moved to the correct location in order to inherit any predefined values.
  • You must re-target in-process links to leaf elements when using an imported assembly file that contains previously defined in-process links that target leaf elements.
  • Leaf status assigned to each leaf element is automatically set to the default Leaf Status value configured in Data Administration.
When you import an entire assembly or part of an assembly, the following occur:
  • If you import one assembly into a new assembly, the settings in the imported assembly are copied into the new assembly.
  • The source assembly or assembly folder you import becomes a child of the target element in the target assembly.
  • Element attributes of the imported assembly or folder are referenced.
  • If you import the assembly root, a folder that represents the source assembly's root is created in the target assembly, which contains the children of the imported root.
  • Locks are not maintained; elements that are locked in the imported assembly are not locked in the target assembly.
  • All leaf elements contained in the imported assembly root or folder are added to the target assembly with the NEW operator and a blank modified file value.
  • Volume breaks that are imported are not maintained.
  • Documents in the imported assembly do not have a value for the Created From attribute.
  • You cannot import individual leaf elements, documents or document placeholders.
  • A document will not change to a placeholder when importing a source assembly where it is assigned.
  • The Site attribute for the Study Information Leaf does not inherit a value from its parent folder, which also has a Site attribute.
