Subsystems

A System can track other Systems. Those linked Systems appear as Subsystems in the directory. Subsystems can nest when a Subsystem tracks Systems of its own.

View Subsystems​

  1. Open a System and click Directory.
  2. Subsystem rows appear in the tree with the System's name.
  3. Expand a Subsystem to browse its tracked Resources and any nested Subsystems.
  4. Click a Subsystem to see its summary: System ID, classification, link details, and which version is tracked.
  5. Click a Resource under a Subsystem to preview it.

The Subsystem row menu (right-click) has these items:

  • View Subsystem
  • Open System
  • Open in New Tab
  • Copy (URL, name, link, or ID)
  • Edit System Details
  • Share
  • Remove (in edit mode)

Add or change tracked Systems​

  1. Open the Directory and click the pencil (Edit system).
  2. In the Library pane, open the Systems tab. Search for a System, then click Add or drag it into the tree.
    • To create a System and add it in one step, click Create System, or choose Add new (+) > Subsystem.
  3. For each tracked System, choose a System version: baseline or a specific tag.
  4. To stop tracking a System, open its row menu and select Remove.
  5. Click Commit Changes, enter a message, and click Commit Changes to save a commit on the branch.

You can't add the current System, or a System the branch already tracks.

Required role: Editor or above to add, change, or remove tracked Systems.

When a tracked Subsystem moves to a newer version, the change appears on the Accept changes page.
