When you download an asset from the web client, you will be prompted to download a .zip file that contains all of the folders, artifact files, and cached link artifacts that are attached to the asset.
When you import an asset into the Eclipse client, the folders and artifacts that are attached to the asset will be downloaded into your Eclipse workspace.
You can enter additional information about asset artifacts with labels. Artifact labels may be required to satisfy the requirements of a custom review process in a community.
You can enter a URL link as an artifact. For example, you could add a link to the most recent version of a file, or you can enter the web address of a useful website. When other users click on a URL artifact, a new browser window opens to that URL.
You can optionally choose to cache a copy of the data found at the URL to the Rational Asset Manager server; user can download that copy when they download the asset.
You can configure asset types to automatically assign categories to an asset based on the content of XML files that you attach to an asset.
You can also add the content of elements and attributes of XML artifacts to the Rational Asset Manager search index; other users will be able to use keyword searches to find that content.
You can configure asset attributes to assign values based on the content of XML artifacts.
