Attribute Embedding

You can embed attributes of the current document or document section in a document text. This means that you can display all the metadata of a document, such as the processor and status, in the document itself.

This function is also helpful when creating documents that are largely identical and differ only in some sections. Examples of this type of documents are project proposals, project orders, project manuals, and process descriptions. You can use roles to specify exactly who can change which metadata.

To insert an attribute into a document section, edit the section’s text. Click the the D button in the toolbar, as shown below, to open the attribute selector and embed an attribute. You can see only the attributes that are visible on the edit screen of the corresponding task type.

In the attribute selection, you can determine whether you want to obtain the value of the attribute from the document or from the document section that you are currently changing (context).

You can use Wiki inline templates to specify how an embedded attribute should be displayed in the Wiki app (see Wiki Inline Templates).
