Web Author - Outline side view

Hi,
We are using Web Author as part of the Ixiasoft Web CCMS.
The current outline shows all topicrefs? Or can you filter them?
For relationship tables, it might be more an outline/summary to only show the first column topicref(s).
Could that be changed? Or how can I customize this view?

Hello,
More information on how to configure the displayed names of elements in the
Outline pane can be found here [1].
The default configuration of the
Outline for the DITA framework can be found in
webAuthorOutlineConfig.xml file:
oxygen-xml-web-author\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost\oxygen-xml-web-author\frameworks\dita\web-author-additional-classpath
For relationship tables, it might be more an outline/summary to only show the first column topicref(s).
Regarding your use case, to filter certain topicref(s), I'm not sure if XPath expressions like this are supported. I will consult with my colleagues from development and get back to you with an answer.

Hello,
In the current
Outline configuration, we do not support XPath with indexes.
As a workaround, in the configuration file
webAuthorOutlineConfig.xml please add "relrow" to the names attribute in the
<elements> tag, for example:
<elements names="topicref section topichead reltable relrow chapter mapref"/>
The output should look something like this:
reltable.png
Do you think this approach will help?
Best,

I searched for this filename and I could only find this in the xhtml framework.
Using that I have:
<outline>
<structureMode editable="yes" default="no">
<preferredAttributes names="id xml:id"/>
</structureMode>
<tocMode editable="no" default="yes">
<elements names="topicref section topichead reltable relrow chapter appendix mapref"/>
</tocMode>
</outline>
I copied that to dita-ixia, and restarted our Dev Web CCMS. Maybe messed things up.

Hello,
The file webAuthorOutlineConfig.xml is located in the DITA framework folder, within the Web Author installation folder: oxygen-xml-web-author\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost\oxygen-xml-web-author\frameworks\dita\web-author-additional-classpath
