Replace Assembly Variables

You can use Find and Replace to update delimited variables to text values for a specific assembly.

Find and Replace is available for the assembly root and folder-level elements. All folders, leaf elements, and documents that are children of the root or a folder on which you perform a find and replace are searched and instances of the search criteria are replaced.

When you create an assembly from a template that contains delimited variables, you can use Find and Replace to replace those variables with unique values for the assembly. For example, if a template contains [docbase]/regulatory/[product]/substance for the document path, you could search for [docbase] and replace it with the name of your repository.

When you perform a find and replace:
  • The find and replace values are limited to 500 characters.
  • Values must be text values.
  • No validation is performed on the values you enter.
For find and replace in a working view:
  • Attributes of folders from previous sequences are searched.
  • Attributes of read-only leaf elements from previous sequences are not searched.
Note: Although some attributes in folders from previous sequences appear to be read-only, they are modified by the find and replace because some of the attributes affect publication of XML for the current sequence.
