◦ Define a list of publication identifiers for the product.
◦ Select a default publication identifier from the list when creating a publication structure (optional).
A publication identifier is used to define the default directory in the product’s DMS Output Path location that will receiveServigistics InService A&D output from the publication structure.
◦ Select a publication-specific publication identifier when generating a publication from the publication structure. This can differ from the default value set for the publication, and each publication can have a different identifier.
3. You can export the information structure SNS to Servigistics InService A&D. This forms the structure of the Servigistics InService A&D table of contents.
4. You can generate an Information Type TOC file for Servigistics InService A&D. This file lists the data modules in the information structure, grouped under headers based on their Information Code.
5. When the Servigistics InService A&D publication with the appropriate table of contents structure has been created, you can publish the publication structure’s content.
6. If you have Information Control Number (ICN) illustrations based on Creo Illustrate (.c3di) or Servigistics Arbortext IsoDraw (.iso) graphics in your publication, you can specify that secondary content (.pvz or .cgm) of the illustrations is output in the Servigistics InService A&D bundle.
There are some requirements to publishing secondary content:
◦ There must be a Servigistics Arbortext Editor fallback mechanism in place for the .c3di or .iso graphic types
◦ Your product must include publishing rules that handle publishing of secondary content — default rules are provided

If the illustration is based on a c3di (primary content) and .pvz (secondary content) illustration, you can choose whether to include the first figure in the .pvz file only, or to include all figures in the .pvz.
The value of the Insert Multiple Figures preference specifies which figures to include.

7. You have the option to publish a Servigistics InService A&D bundle without uploading (publishing) it to Servigistics InService.
Use the option Do not publish in the Publish Representation dialog box when creating the bundle when this is the desired behavior..
