Assembly Repository Variables

Assembly repository variables are used to pull document attributes from the repository for use in a submission.

For example, the repository author variable returns the value for the mapped author name of the source documents bound to the assembly. Assembly repository variables are set up and maintained in data administration.

When you create an assembly repository variable, keep in mind the following:

  • If you enter a value for Repository Attribute Name but not for Document Type, the variable resolves to the closest assigned repository document in the assembly. The variable resolves to the value of the repository attribute name that matches the name you enter.
  • If you enter values for both Repository Attribute Name and Document Type, the variable resolves to the closest assigned repository document in the assembly that matches the document type you enter. Once that document is found, the variable resolves to the value of the repository attribute name defined in that document type that matches the name you enter.
