RE: [epf-dev] REG: EPF Query
|
Hello Saravanan.
(1) is by design. The rationale for
our decision to not include such a field to guidance types such as guideline
or concept was to discourage authors to just attach the documents they
have. One goal of EPF Composer is to manage and provide content in
one standard presentation and look & feel. Attachments have their
own templates and styles, cannot be searched or indexed and required a
third party viewer. If people really need to bring in attachments
they can do so as Mark described, but a field would "say" to
users that they should provide an attachment (which we don't want) as it
is the case for templates, which are really meant to be opened in a specific
CASE or WP tool. Not sure I understand (2), but you can create URLs in
the RTE as well as attachments that are managed in the method library as
resources.
Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.

Thanks a lot for the
response Mark. Even I am doing the same solution as you suggested, but
it’s not a suitable way to do it. I will raise it in Bugzilla too…

Hi Saravanan
I am working on a similar actvity with my own organisation's quality processes
(as well as working as a Committer on OpenUP).
You are correct in saying that only the Template product type provides
a form field for defining attachments. However, it is also possible to
refer to attachments as content hyperlinks to external files in the content
description. If you do this, Composer will copy the file into the method
Library you are working in, adding it to the overall source set. It is
then possible to version control the file within the cvs or clearcase repository
you may be using.
Although this does not seem as elegant as using a dedicated form field
within Composer, it offers a viable workaround.
Have you considered raising a bugzilla entry to add the functionality you
describe? It sounds like a reasonable request.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
Mark Dickson

Subject: [epf-dev] REG: EPF Query
Hi
Can some one answer
my following EPF queries?
1. Why
we are not allowing attachments for all guidance types, currently it’s
allowed only for Template Guidance type. For organizations which already
have a stable process and wants to enhance the system with EPF, it looks
to be a bottle neck since it’s not allowing me to upload the existing
guidance’s in the organization. This is more necessary because in larger
organizations guidance are off different formats like, doc, excel, e-learning
materials etc.
2. Similarly
along with attachment option, we should also provide an option to give
the URLS for the guidance’s. So that the end user will have the
freedoms to neither upload the Guidance documents nor give the URL for
the same.
Thanks & Regards
