Can we edit or create a view under a baseline configuration of DNG artefacts?

Thanks for the feedback.
I agree that new types/artifacts/module/reqif definitions etc should not be updated in a baseline. Even I agree that the shared views should not be modifiable. But if I need a specific filtered artifacts to be exported from a baselined version, it is not feasible. They could have enabled for creating personal view alone.

Hi Chandrasekar,
I've created an enhancement request to deal with very issue here, feel free to vote for it if you feel this feature would be valuable:
134245: Ability to export a custom view to excel without saving it
Judging by the below Plan item, it looks like this feature will be implemented in some future release of DNG:
134325: [RM] CM: Baselines - General Improvements

Hi David,
May be one other option can be they could allow save only personal views in the baselined version. so we can export artifacts as per our needs
Hi Chandrasekar,
I've found a partial workaround to export new custom views greater than 200 artifacts from a DOORS Baseline. Create your custom view and choose generate report from the menu in the top right (under the icon with the three stacked horizontal bars).
Choose “Print Module Table” from the list of options in "Select report type" tab
Keep clicking through until the "Report information" tab.In the “Report information” tab choose Microsoft word and tick the “Show attributes” checkbox
The table that is generated from this report should match the attributes and links that are displayed in your new custom view. You can copy and paste the table into excel to mimic a regular export of a custom view.
Note that this method comes with some caveats. Namely, you can’t save the new custom view and you can only produce this style of report within modules. It might be possible to create a similar style report template for base artifacts but I think you'd need access to RPE to be able to create new templates outside of the default.
Hopefully in spite of it's limitations this method can still help you to extract the information you need from Baselines.

David
