How do I create an attribute type with a link in an artifact type?
![]() How do I create an attribute type with a link in an artifact type? I have searched the Jazz knowledge base and the YouTube videos, but I cannot find any mention of this. One video paused long enough to show a list under the Link Types heading, but he didn't do anything with the list. When I select Manage Project Properties and select an artifact type, there are no link type attributes listed. When I select Add Attribute, there are no link type attributes listed there either. I can see the list of Link Types, but most of them are not selectable, including the ones I want. One of the sample projects has an artifact type Information which includes "Implemented By" and "Validated By". These are what I want, but the artifact type Information doesn't seem to be an appropriate name. |

![]() You are very close, under the Manage Project Properties in the Link Types tab is where you would define additional relationships that aren't already provided for you. Then when you are in your artifacts/modules you can insert columns which are either attributes or link types or both. |
![]() Thank you Alex, but I already got that far. I can see the two link types I want: Implemented By and Validated By. They are listed under Link Types with Name, Relationship Labels, and RDF URI. The problem is that I cannot select either of them. I don't know how to add them to the Artifact type I have. If I select "+ Add..." it just tells me that the link type already exists. If instructions for doing this are documented somewhere, please point me to them. So far, I am finding this product to be very poorly documented. I wish I had a manual, either paper or on-line. |
![]() These 2 types are specific to RTC and RQM respectively that is why you can't assign them to the artifacts, for other link types that you define you assign them to artifacts as preferred link types. |
