Leaf Updates for Assemblies

Use the Leaf Update for Assemblies wizard to update "list of document assemblies" for existing projects that have associated planned sequences.

Limited functionality around assemblies has been extended to Ennov InSight customers with an SPT license that enables you to centrally manage changes to documents for the purpose of notifying your regional publishing centers of the changes.

Using the Ennov InSight sequence and assembly functionality, you can create a list of leafs (documents) for each regional application. After the "assemblies" (the list of documents) are locked and lifecycled as sequence assemblies, you can use a GPP project to create new planned sequences for the regional center applications, and then use the Leaf Update for Assemblies wizard to update the leafs for the applications using a predefined template of New, Replace, and Delete operations.

Assemblies should not contain any folder elements. They should contain leaf elements and documents only.

The updates appear in the new working "assembly" created under the planned sequence for each application included in the GPP project. 

Note: To determine which applications need updated leaf assemblies, open a sequence assembly that contains one of the documents to be updated. Select the document and run the View Where Used query. Select the Show for Sequence Assemblies option to see all instances for which the document was used. Use this information to create associations between the project and sequences. See the topic Global Project Planning for more information.

After using GPP to create planned sequences, the wizard will create a new working assembly under the planned sequence using the structure of the predefined assembly template you select in the wizard. The predefined assembly template should include the documents to be updated and the leaf operations to be performed on the documents. The wizard performs the leaf operations on documents whose names match exactly in both the "list of documents assembly" and the assembly template. 

When the wizard applies the template to a sequence assembly, the following rules are applied for adding leafs or updating the leaf operation status based on a comparison of the leafs contained in the target (existing) assembly and the template.

Leaf Operation Status No leaf (Existing) New (Existing) Replace (Existing) Delete (Existing)
New (Template) New Replace Replace New
Replace (Template) New Replace Replace New
Delete (Template) No new leaf Delete Delete No new leaf
