Insert a DM Reference

S1000D links data modules using the dmRef element. A dmRef is a not a true xref type element, although it can use xlink for the IETP environment. The full structure of a dmRef can be complex, but inserting a dmRef into a data module or publication module uses the DML.

Select S1000D > Common Source Data.
The S1000D Common Source Data dialog appears.
In a valid document, click at a place where a DM reference is allowed.
The Insert DM Reference button becomes active.
Select the target data module from the DML.
Click Insert DM Reference.
The required dmRef structure is added to the active document.

Note: The S1000D dialog defines the inserted structure.

Alternatively, if a dmRef is inserted from the element catalog, the S1000D data panel is opened, ready to select the requested data module.
