Embedded Links Creator
Introduction
The Embedded Links Creator is an innovative widget designed to optimize your experience within IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation (DNG). Specifically developed to streamline the creation of "Embeds" type links between text artifacts and their embedded images or objects, this widget enhances project traceability and organization. Its robust features simplify what was once a manual and time-consuming task into an automated, efficient process.
Problem Statement
Challenges in Embedded Links Management
In IBM DNG, users often encounter a critical limitation: the default system does not automatically create links between text artifacts and their embedded images or artifacts. This can lead to fragmented traceability, disorganized project data, and a significant time wasted in manually linking embedded artifacts.
Solution
