Designate Linked Attributes to be Displayed

A repository can specify attributes of a linked repository to be displayed in the Detail Editor Tab or the Repository Dashboard.

WARNING: Be careful modifying the definition of existing link relationships, as they are fundamental in many of the EnterWorks functions. Link relationships must have unique names and if repository has a staging and production versions, then the relationship must be created on both repositories.

To manage the selection of linked attributes:

Log into EnterWorks as a user with Administrative privileges.
Open the repository in the Repository Dashboard, (see Repository Dashboard). Scroll to the Link Relation pane.
Repository Link Relation Pane
Select the desired link relationship and click the Edit button on the Link Relation pane’s Activity Bar. The link relation will be opened in a Manage Link Relation tab, in the Details page.
NOTE: Do not change existing link names, otherwise the EnterWorks views, export templates and other features that reference the link may break..
Manage Link Relation Details
Click the Next button to scroll to the Join Condition page. The join is from parent repository to child repository.
Manage Link Relation Join Condition
Click the Next button to scroll to the Child Preference page.
Top of Child Preference Page
Bottom of Manage Link Child Preference Page
The Child Preference page defines how the link table is shown when the child repository is opened for editing in the Detail Editor Tab. The Parent Preference page is identical to the Child Preference page, but it defines how the link table is shown when the parent repository is opened for editing in the Detail Editor Tab. The pages are edited the same.
The configuration options on a Preference page are:
- Numbers of Records Per Page
- Window Display Height
- Show Link in Detail Editor Tab: Indicate whether the link table is shown.
- Placement Group: Select an existing Placement Group (also called an Attribute Tab) to define which Detail Editor Tab tab will include the link table. To generate a new Placement Group, click the Manage button on the right, see (Manage Attribute Groups).
- Edit Button Label Description: If toggled, it allows you to edit the labels on the action buttons.
- Show Buttons: When the checkbox next to an action button is checked, the button will be displayed in the Detail Editor Tab. If the Edit Button Label Description toggle is set to On (indicator is pushed to the right), you will be able to edit text fields to the right of the buttons; they are the labels displayed on the buttons when they are shown in the Detail Editor Tab. The action buttons are:
- Source (Including linked repositories): EnterWorks allows you to select attributes to display from the linked repository as well as attributes from the linked repository’s linked repositories.
  The Available Attributes list (on the left) contains attributes that can be added to the Display These Attributes list (on the right). The Source dropdown selects which repository’s attributes are currently listed in the Available Attributes list.
  Use the left arrow and right arrow buttons to add or remove attributes from the Display These Attributes list.
  Use the up arrow and down arrow buttons to the right of the Display These Attributes list to order the attributes are displayed.
When the Child Preference has been edited as desired, click the Next button to scroll to the Parent Preference.
Edit the Parent Preference in the same manner as the Child Preference.
When the Parent Preference has been edited as desired, click the Apply button to save your changes to the link relation. To exit without saving your changes, close the Manage Link Relation tab.
