Import Assembly Wizard

Use the Import Assembly Wizard to import an assembly into the assembly tree.

Prerequisites

Only the assemblies of the eCTD 4.0 type are visible if wizard is invoked from eCTD 4.0 assembly.

Publishing settings must be specified for the assembly into which you are importing an assembly.

To use the Import Assembly Wizard:

  1. On the assembly tree, right-click the root or folder where you want to import the assembly and choose Import Assembly Wizard.
  2. For the How would you like to find the assembly? option, select one of the following to find an assembly.
    Option Action
    Browse
    1. Click Browse.
    2. Select the required assembly type tab.
    3. Select an assembly and click OK.
    4. If you want to select an assembly element to import, click Show, make a selection and then click OK.
    Option Action
    Search Select the assembly type in the Assembly Type to Search.
  3. Choose the following options as necessary.
    Option Action
    Reset Lifecycle Information: Select this option to reset the life cycle information for a new assembly. If this option is not selected, the life cycle from the source assembly will be included in the new assembly.
    Retarget copied Reference Leafs: Select this option to retarget the reference links copied from the source assembly to link to their targets in the new assembly. If the Reference Leaf points to a leaf that is also part of the import, the Reference Leaf is updated to the copied target instead of the source assembly. If the Reference Leaf points to a leaf is not included in the import, but a leaf in the target assembly matches the source assembly and is created from the same template, the leaf is retargeted.

    Note: You must retarget in-process links to leaf elements when using an imported assembly file that contains previously defined in-process links that target leaf elements.

  4. Click Next.

    If you have selected the assembly by using the Browse option, move to step 7.

  5. Enter the search criteria and click Next.
  6. Select the assembly from the matching assemblies and click Next.
  7. Expand the assembly, then click the root or part of the assembly to import, and click Next.

    The Import Completed window appears, listing the actions taken.

  8. Click Finish.

The updated Assembly is displayed. Right-click the root or the folder and choose Expand Range to see the full assembly with the imported assembly. See The Import of the Sender-defined Keywords for specific rules.
