Create a Sequence Assembly from an Assembly File

A sequence assembly created from an assembly file is used to restore the assemblies from the backup or transfer them between different systems.

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

Document Management System (DMS). They appear as placeholders that 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.

You must have appropriate security privileges to create an assembly.

Note: When creating a new assembly, or a new assembly template, from an assembly file, if the repository path in

Technical Administration does not relate to any location within assembly file, the location path will not be populated.
