Why Won't Artifacts Appear in the Drop-Down Menu Located in the Views/Filter Column?
Hello All,
When I create a new artifact with an existing Type I always have to click on artifact above it, right click and follow the menu prompts. I know there's a fast and more efficient way to do this by clicking on the drop-down menu in the views/filter tags/filter attributes column but none of the artifact types (custom or original) can be found there. I checked to see if there was something in the "Manage Project Properties">"Artifact Types" that I needed to manipulate but I'm having no such luck. What do I need to do to get all my artifact types to appear in that drop-down menu? -Adam Cruse |

Your description looks a bit confusing since it starts with "creating a new artifact" and then goes on to "how to filter artifacts by types". Can you attach a screen shot showing what you want to do?
To create a new artifact, you have quite a few options. 1. Use the top menu item "Artifacts" and choose an artifact type in the "Create Artifact" section. 2. The same menu is also available in the left pane (just above the "Views" section) if you are in the "Artifacts" grid view. 3. Select an existing artifact and choose the "Create New Similar" in the context menu. I have never encountered the problem with not seeing the artifact types in the "Artifact Type" filter. To avoid any confusion, make sure you clear all the previous filter first (use the eraser icon at the right hand side of each of the sections "Views", "Filter by Tag", "Filter by Attribute" and "Filter by Folder". Comments Hello Donald, Unfortunatly I can not, the forums require me to have a reputaion of >60 to upload pictures... Let me be a bit more descriptive: Your 2nd answer describes what I wish to do, however I can only select the following options: Create Other Artifact Type Upload Artifact Add Existing Artifact The "Create Numbered Heading" and "Create Normal Content" options are greyed out and I wish to know why I can't, for example, click on the menu and under the "Create Normal Content" section select "Requirement" specifically. I've seen it being done before and it just seems more efficient to me.

It's still kind of confusing to me, as some of the options that you mentioned are actually available for the folder (accessing via the pencil icon on the right hand side of a folder). I'm testing with RDNG 5.0.2. Which version are you using?
