External services

The external services that can be configured on the project-tab:

  • The ART-DECOR Automatic Notifier System (ADANS)

Reference a building block repository

In order to use concepts, value sets, and templates from a BBR (building block repository), it is necessary to first add a reference to a repository. Follow these steps to add a reference to a BBR from a project:

  • Log in as decor-admin
  • Go to tab Project/General
  • Click on Add building block repository. This will show a list of BBR's (depending on the server settings, these can include BBR's that reside on this server and/or BBR's that reside on external servers. See also the ART maintenance manual).
  • Select a BBR
  • Click add to add a BBR-reference in the current project

  • Click Save to update the project information
  • After saving the project information, the BBR-reference is shown like:

  • After adding the BBR-reference: when adding dataset concepts, value sets or templates, content from the BBR is also presented in the current project

Adding authors to a project

Before a user can edit a project, the following steps must be performed:

  • the user must have a personal ART-DECOR user account, please Contact us to obtain one
  • the user must have the proper group permissions (See also the ART maintenance manual)
  • Now the user can be added to the project by a decor-admin from the project:
    • Log in as decor-admin
    • Go to tab Project/Authors
    • Add a user to the current project by clicking Add author
    • Select the user
    • Click Add
    • Click Save to update the project information

Project specific author settings

Any ART-DECOR user may be active in multiple projects. He may be acting from different organizations depending on the project, and he may be more or (temporarily) less involved. For these reasons ART-DECOR supports switching on/off notification settings for ADANS on a project specific level. Any user with 'decor-admin' rights in the project can adjust the settings for any project author. In addition to that, the decor-admin project user may switch the ADANS notifier on/off for the entire project. All other project (issue) authors can adjust their own settings.

The notifiers work as follows:

  • project notifier is on when it is '---' or 'on'. project notifier is off when it is 'off' (project opt-out)
  • user notifier is on when it is 'on'. project notifier is off when it is '---' or 'off' (user opt-in)

Creating a new version / release / publication request

ART supports the creation of a project publication. For the publication feature to work, ADRAM needs to be installed and configured for this project. The creation of a version/release works as follows:

  • Check that ADRAM is configured for this project. On the tab 'Project/General', Publication location should contain a URL where the publication is going to be published. Behind the 'Publication location' it should show 'Release and Archive Manager configured' (this checks that ADRAM is configured for this project at the publication location).

  • On the tab 'Project/Version information', create a new version/release/publication request:

  • This will open a dialog where information detailing the version/release/publication request can be entered:
    • Description: enter a text describing the version or release.
    • Type: Intermediate version, or Release. For a release a release label can be entered.
    • Save compilations in the following languages: languages can be de-selected to exclude them from the publication.
    • Publication request: selecting this checkbox will trigger ADRAM to create a publication at the publication location shown.
    • Select 'Add' to confirm.

  • ADRAM will check periodically for new publication requests and will create the publication at the publication location. Typically a review should be done after which the publication status can be upgraded to 'Draft/Active/Retired/Cancelled' via the tab 'Project/ Versions/Releases'. The status for a publication can now be updated in the column 'Edit':

  • ADRAM will re-check and update the publication status at the publication location. Visit the publication location URL to see the various releases:
