Template Sub Folders and Data Cards

Barry Stump Aug 10, 2010 8:44 AM

Is there a way to have certain data cards follow Template Folder Sub Folders? I mean different data cards for the same file type in different sub folders of the template? IE Template sub folder A-A has Doc card A and template sub folder A-B has coard B while template main folder may have Card C.

Hi
You could find a good explanation for data card inheritance in PDM Administration Guide. Search for Data Card Inheritance.

  ...but if you want a totally different card, I don't think the template tool is the right tool for the job.

    I understand how the general inheritance works. But other than having the templates set up and then manually saving the appropriate cards to the sub folders to override the default inheritance is there a way to assign data cards top files types inside the template sub folders?

      As far as I know there is no way outside of API code the only way to assign data cards to folders is thru the card editor.
