Workspace Publications View

A Content Fusion publication defines a DITA map that is used to resolve keys in topics and optionally, a DITAVAL filter used for flagging or filtering profiled content.

The Publications view (found inside the project's Personal Workspace) displays the map of a publication in a tree editor to make navigating through the topics easier. For a publication to appear, it must first be defined in the Publications Management dialog box.

Note:

If you have modified the publications using the project Publications Management page, you also need to pull incoming changes into your workspace to retrieve the latest publications.

To select a defined publication, use the publications drop-down control in the side-pane. This publication will be used as the context of the open editors. Changing the publication triggers a reload of the currently open editor to match the new context.

To add a new publication, click the

Add publication button at the top-right corner of the view's header. This button opens a drop-down menu with options for creating a new publication:

From existing DITA map - Adds a new publication based on an existing DITA map. In the resulting dialog box, you enter a name for the publication and specify the context DITA map and optionally, a DITAVAL filter file.
From new map - Adds a new publication based on a new DITA map. In the resulting dialog box, you enter a Title for the new publication, specify the path of the Parent folder, and choose the Map type (either Map or Bookmap).

When finished configuring the options, click the Create button at the bottom of the dialog box to add the publication.

The Manage Publications button at the top-right corner of the view 's header can be used to open a Manage Publications dialog box where you have access to all publication management features, including creating, editing, and deleting publications. You can also reach this configuration dialog box by selecting Manage publications from the publications drop-down list.

You can click the Refresh button at the top-right corner of the view 's header to refresh the list of publications.

You can click on a file displayed in the side-pane to open it in the visual editor (or double-click a file when the map is open in the tree editor).

Notice:

The Enable tree editing in the Publications side-view option in the Profile Settings page must be selected (default value) for the map to be editable. If that option is deselected, the map is displayed as read only.

You can use the Type to filter text field to search for a file by name.

Manage Publications Dialog Box

The Manage Publications dialog box allows you to create and configure publications. These publications can be used as context in new review tasks, in deliverables, and in your personal workspace.

To add a new publication from the management dialog box, click the New Publication button in the top-right corner. This button opens a drop-down menu with options for creating a new publication:

From existing DITA map - Adds a new publication based on an existing DITA map. In the resulting dialog box, you enter a name for the publication and specify the context DITA map and optionally, a DITAVAL filter file.
From new map - Adds a new publication based on a new DITA map. In the resulting dialog box, you enter a Title for the new publication, specify the path of the Parent folder, and choose the Map type (either Map or Bookmap).

When finished configuring the options, click the Create button at the bottom of the dialog box to add the publication.

To edit an existing publication, click the Configure button next to the particular publication. To delete an existing publication, click the Delete button next to the particular publication.

If you have an existing DITA-OT project file, you can include all the <context> elements as Publications in your Oxygen Content Fusion project using the Include Publications button (available when managing publications from the workspace). This action will add an <include> element in the Oxygen Content Fusion's builtin DITA-OT project file.

Note:

There are some limitations in regard to the supported DITA-OT project files:

A <context> element that contains more than one <profile> element is not supported and will be ignored.
Deliverables are not loaded from your project file, but may be in the future.
