How does one access the Artifacts currently displayed as the result of a filter?
My apology if this topic has been addressed but I could not find any information on it on the web/forum.
Using the Client Extension API for the RM application (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RMExtensionsAPI601#LocationSpecification) I can loop through the Artifacts in a module. However, I cannot find a way to access only those Artifacts currently being displayed (due to an applied filter). Doing this was a simple thing with dxl in DOORS "classic" but I have been unable to find a way to do it in DNG 6.0.1. How can this be done using the Javascript/extension feature?

There will generally be several hundred artifacts shown as a result of a given filter so selecting them individually is not acceptable. I'm not sure I can figure out how to loop through selected artifacts anyway. I presume I would have to subscribe to the Artifact_Selected event and "remember" the latest selection for later use.
