Create an Assembly Template

You can create an assembly template by using the New menu or by using existing assembly elements.

On the  Calyx RIM New menu, click Assembly Template to create an assembly template from one of the following sources:

  • New (Empty) - to create a new template containing no existing assembly elements
  • Existing Template, Assembly or View - create a new template from an existing template or assembly, or from a current or active view
  • Assembly File - create a new template from an assembly or view that has been exported as an XML file
  • Virtual Document - create a new template from a Documentum virtual document

Using a template, an existing assembly, or a virtual document to create a new assembly template streamlines the process because existing attribute values are inherited by any new assembly you create. A template or an existing assembly can contain publishing settings, the assembly structure, the hierarchical order of folders and leaf elements, documents, document placeholders, publishing elements, and default mappings to DMS attributes for leaf and study report attributes. This minimizes the need for you to enter data already captured in the DMS.

Note: Creating a new assembly, or a new assembly template, will fail with a Null Pointer Exception if DMS repositories, including a file share repository, have not been configured for Calyx RIM.
