Reference Leaf Elements

A reference leaf element has the same lifecycle requirements as a standard leaf element in the assembly. Both require a unique ID and lifecycle management to track modified file information.

Reference leaf element features:
  • A reference leaf element allows multiple leaf elements to point to a single piece of content or another leaf in either a current or submitted assembly.
  • A reference leaf cannot point to another leaf in a standalone assembly.
  • A reference leaf must include the application number, prefix and the sequence number.
  • To reference an entity across assemblies, the target leaf must be included in a lifecycle or supporting sequence.
  • A reference leaf element does not have the Leaf Status attribute.
