DITA Maps Manager and relationship tables

Is it possible to influence the way topics are displayed in the DITA Maps Manager? I am currently working on relationship tables for a huge document. I always wish there was a way to display file names in addition to topic titles.

My oXygen version ist 13.1.

Thanks for your support

Susanne

Hi Susanne,

Sorry, this is not possible.
If you hover over a topic title the tooltip should also tell you the file name.

But I think there are easier ways to link in your relationship table to topics which are shown in the DITA Maps Manager.
I will assume that the DITA Map for which you are editing the reltable is opened in the main editor in the Author page.
Just drag and drop a topic from the DITA Maps Manager tree to a cell in the relationship table. This will automatically insert a link to it.
You can also add in the Oxygen Project view your entire project's directory and also drop from the Oxygen Project topics in the <relcell>'s.
Or if you have a Windows Explorer (or an equivalent) opened side-by-side with Oxygen you can copy the file from it and then paste in Oxygen, it should also try to insert a reference to it depending on the context where the paste is made.

Regards,
Radu
