Can a user see all artifacts within a stream in DOORS 702?
4 answers
In the DOORS Next UI, selecting a stream sets the UI to show the latest version of all artifacts in that stream. Since configurations (streams and baselines) exist in the scope of a component, if you have only one component defined in your project area, then this stream will include all artifacts in your DOORS Next project area (assuming none were deleted from this stream and may exist in other streams).
If you have multiple components defined, then you could use a global configuration to create a context that includes all the components. The DOORS Next UI will still only show you the contents of one component in one project area at a time.
If your users really want to see all artifacts in DOORS Next (and at the same time), then someone could create a report using JRS Report Builder that includes all project areas and components, and the report can be generated with a particular global stream as the context (assuming all components are contributing streams to the global stream).
IF the project area access control is left wide open (Access Control set to Everyone) then everyone with an ERM user id can read everything in the project area (all artifacts in all components and all configurations)
IF the project area access is more tightly controlled (e.g. you assign users to project area roles) then everyone with any project area role will have enough permissions to read everything in the project area (all artifacts in all components and all configurations).
There is a lot of information needed to give a more useful answer:
What does 'see every artifact within a stream at the same time" mean?
- Are you using modules and they want to see every artifact in every module in 1 view?
- Are you using folders (and maybe collections) and they want to see every artifact in every folder/collection in 1 view?
- Are you having multiple project areas and are you splitting your project area into multiple components? Do(es) the component(s) have multiple streams?
- Are you using Global Configurations and they want to view all ERM artifacts from all of the GC contributions in 1 view?
Hi
What's your users' usecase for wanting to see all artifacts in a stream?
I don't think it would make sense to try to see all the module bindings at a time because how should that display the heading/hierarchy, and how should multiple uses of an artifact be displayed?
You can see all the core artifacts in a stream (i.e. in a component) by:
- Select any folder
- Add a filter Artifact Type is any of and then check all the artifact types (or a subset that you're interested in)
- Then on the folder filter click the - to remove it and you see all the core artifacts, 200 at a time
This might place some load on your server if you have a lot of artifacts in the component, so use carefully.
Also if you use modules and create links from/to module artifacts (bindings) then this view of just core artifacts isn't where you want to create links.

I am going to take this question literally.
Assuming you're in a local RM stream, when you go to the artifacts view you can list at most 200 artifacts. If you're only seeing 25 (the default) you can click the top grey heading row (box, menu, ID, Name, etc.) and choose Show 25 Rows Per Page and change it to 200 there.
There is no way to show more than 200 artifacts via the UI.
One alternative would be to create a view and export it to Excel. This would then get the user exactly what they want, just in Excel instead of DNG.
