Sequence Assemblies

Sequence assemblies represent a submission.

They are associated with a particular product, country, application, event, and sequence.

When you create a sequence assembly, you must specify its attributes. Some of these attributes are required, others are optional, and others are provided by Ennov InSight automatically.

If you create an assembly from a template, existing assembly, or application view, many attributes are maintained and saved in the new assembly. You can use these default values for the new assembly or you can overwrite them with different attribute values.

In the sequence assembly created from an Assembly File, or Template, Assembly or View, each imported Leaf Element is assigned automatically with the default Leaf Status value from Data Administration.

When you copy an assembly to another assembly, Ennov InSight does not clear the assembly, folder and leaf due dates. This is because these due dates may be templated before assembly creation for project planning purposes.

Once you have created a sequence assembly, it becomes available in lists of sequence assemblies and in the sequence it is associated with. Users who are authorized to work with assemblies can access the assembly from its sequence.

Create an Empty Sequence Assembly

You can create an empty sequence assembly from the View Sequence page.

You can create an empty sequence assembly from the View Sequence page. You can also use the Create eCTD wizard.

Note: You must have the appropriate security privileges to create a sequence assembly.

To create an empty sequence assembly:

  1. Click a link for the sequence for which you are creating a sequence assembly.
  2. On the View Sequence page, click the Assembly tab.
  3. Click Create Assembly.
  4. On the Create Assembly page, select New (Empty) to create an empty assembly.
  5. Click the publishing settings library to use with the assembly.
  6. Save.
  7. Enter attribute values for the assembly.

    Note: The Created From attribute is always blank.

  8. Click Create.

Create a Sequence Assembly from a Template, Assembly, or View

You can create an empty sequence assembly from a template, assembly, or a submitted or approved view using the the

View Sequence page.

You can also use the Create eCTD wizard.

Note: You must have the appropriate security privileges to create a sequence assembly.

To create an empty sequence assembly:

  1. Click a link for the sequence for which you are creating a sequence assembly.
  2. On the View Sequence page, click Assembly.

Create a Sequence Assembly from an Assembly File

When importing an assembly file, the documents in the file are not automatically synchronized with the mapped

DMS.

They will 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 sequence assembly.

You can use the View Sequence page to create a sequence assembly from an assembly file. You can also use the Create eCTD wizard.

To create a sequence assembly based on an assembly file:

  1. Click a link for the sequence for which you are creating a sequence assembly.
  2. On the View Sequence page, click Assembly.
  3. Click Create Assembly.
  4. On the Create Assembly page, click Assembly File.
  5. To find the assembly file, click Browse and do either of the following:
    Option Action
