Creating DNG attributes in bulk
I have a customer who is trying to efficiently import requirement data into DNG. Right now, he's having to create a long list of attributes for each one of the column headers in his CSV/XLS prior to the ingest. He mentions that creating attributes during the ingest process was a capability in DOORS classic. I'm pretty certain that there is no way to do this in DNG for security reasons I'm sure; however I was curious if there was a way to create attributes in bulk or is your only option the web interface?

Hi Michael,

Thanks Carol! Forgive my ignorance with SnagIt but what is the advantage over simply cutting and pasting? Does it hold a lot of values?
Michael, it's a screen capture tool, but you can selectively choose to "grab the text" from the screen shot. So what I do is filter the worksheet, then where it lists the values for a column, I screen capture that chunk (you define the capture range with the tool) but set it to "grab text only". That way it captures only those words, which you can then paste in the Add Multiple Values option for the DNG Attribute. There are demos of it on Techsmith.com.
Thank you for the clarification!
