Create a Standalone Assembly from an Assembly File

When you import an assembly file, the documents in the file are not automatically synchronized with the mapped DMS.

They appear as placeholders which prevents import failures if the referenced DMS does not exist in the current system. Run a DMS synchronization immediately after importing to assign placeholders automatically to the DMS documents.
Note: You must have the appropriate security privileges to create a standalone assembly.

You can use the Home page to create a standalone  from an assembly file. You can also use the Create eCTD wizard.

To create a standalone assembly based on an assembly file:
  1. On the home page, click New > Standalone Assembly.
  2. On the Create Assembly page, click Assembly File.
  3. To find the assembly file, click Browse and do either of the following:
    Option Action
    On the Documents tab, navigate to the assembly file: Click OK.
    On the Search tab, find the assembly file: Click OK.
  4. For Use Source Publishing Settings Library, click Yes or No to indicate whether the new assembly will use the publishing settings library that the source assembly uses.
    Option Action
    If you clicked Yes, then for Import Publishing Elements: Click Yes.
    To indicate whether the new assembly will use the publishing elements that the source assembly uses: Click No.
    If you clicked No for Use Source Publishing Settings Library: Click the publishing settings library that the new assembly will use.
  5. Save.
