This page is aimed to IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) users to let them know which elements can be dragged/copied and dropped/pasted into the ${local-app-connector} linking wizard, as well as some limitations the application has using it.

In EWM, all work items being a link (or images/texts being able to open the work item page) can be dragged and dropped into the linking wizard, some common cases/places are:

• The Recent Work Items list elements.
• The Search Results page elements (either the Id or Summary columns content).
• Plan's Items elements.
• Work Item Links elements.

None of above views support multiple selection, so drag and drop work items must be done one by one. This is true even if users enable the Edit Multiple Work Items option on the Search Results page; no matter how much of them are selected, only the one from where the dragging started will be dropped.

On a work item open page, users can drag and drop the corresponding icon above the Summary field or the full URL in the browser's addresses bar. They can also press over the clipboard icon in the toolbar and press the Select Link button to then open the context menu (right-click) and select the option to copy the URL of the link. This context menu technique applies also for all elements in above list.

Global Configurations Compatibility

There is no difference between using a Global Configuration on ${local-app}, the same elements discussed above are suitable to be drag-and-dropped or copy-and-pasted in the linking wizard. This is due the nature of the EWM application, as Change Management projects do not involve Configuration Management.
