I'm quite new to DXL, but I've read through the manual and can't find an answer. I want to store some text (might grow to a few thousand characters) that is associated with a module but is not stored in an object. In other words, most users won't see it and it won't appear in any views. This data will be a set of formal reviews information and will be used to drive a data collection script. I could use a module discussion if I get desperate but I was hoping for something simpler. For instance, in MS VBA I can store attribute data with a .doc and no one ever sees it. One other note--ideally this data would survive through baselines and archives. Thanks for you ideas Al

Re: Storing some data but not in an object Hi, You could make attributes for only the module (not objects) to put the data in. These are not normally included in any views and so are not normally seen by the user. Just a thought. Greg |
Re: Storing some data but not in an object Hi You can use configuration files (Search for "confUser" in your help file). This files are stored on the doors server and individuell for the user. Best regards Wolfgang |
Re: Storing some data but not in an object I agree with GregM. This definitely sounds like a job for Module attributes, which you can think of in the same way as Word doc properties. |
Re: Storing some data but not in an object Thanks for the ideas. I'll give them a shot. Regards Al Huneke |
