Traceability Without the Wizard

Hey guys, I'm new to DOORS here.  I know that you can use the Analysis>Wizard to drop a column for traceability into a module.  I also know that you can save this in your current view and it will stay there.  However, what I am doing is building an empty module that will be used as a template to start each project, and would like to add a column for 1 level of in-links and a column for 1 level of out-links.  I want the information to populate from the start, rather than using the wizard.

Can this be done?

Interesting thought, you should be able to achieve your goal if you leave the selection of All formal module and all link modules checked in the wizard. If you want to specify link modules however to zone in on specific traceability relationships your plan might not hold up.

Create two DXL attributes in your template module, one for out-links, one for in-links.

Sample code can be found here

You will see in the code that the link name can be changed, so you can copy the attributes and edit the DXL to display different flavours of links.

You might need to get some help from someone who has some DXL experience, but you only ned to do this once.
