eCTD Publishing Settings
Specifying the general electronic eCTD publishing settings enables the entire eCTD assembly to inherit leaf element and study folder attributes. These settings contribute to default values for leaf elements in the eCTD XML files, and the default properties for study tagging or other study XML files.
The eCTD publishing settings are applicable to both the Default Values and the Default Study Folder in the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and the Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL).
Generally, these settings are used to either:
- Set up a global value for an XML attribute that generally will not change, for example: the font library.
- Inherit this information from attributes that are already stored in your document repository. An administrator must have already configured repository variables (in Data Administration) so Calyx RIM can find the metadata, and placed these variables in the attributes on the settings page.
Any attributes defined on a particular leaf use the assigned values. Calyx RIM inherits only values from these settings if the value has been left blank on the element itself.
