Customizing the displayed Resource Manager tabs

Customizer's Guide > Customizing DITA Support > Customizing the DITA Resource Manager > Customizing the displayed Resource Manager tabs

You can customize the tabs that appear in the docked version of the Resource Manager using the following persistent user preference:

com.arbortext.dita.rm.(doctype).tabs=(tab1),(tab2),(tab3),...

For the doctype token, you can specify either a specific document type base name (for example, ditabase or bookmap), or you can use map to specify all DITA map specializations and topic to specify all topic specializations.

For the tab token, you can specify one of the following values:

tab Value	Tab Name	Valid Document Types
link_xref_tab	Link/Xref	DITA topics
image_tab	Image	DITA topics and maps
conref_tab	Content Reference	DITA topics and maps
topic_tab	Topic	DITA maps
new_topic_tab	New Topic	DITA maps
keydef_tab	Key Definition	DITA maps
xinclude_tab	Inclusion	DITA topics and maps

If no preferences are specified, the following default values are used:

com.arbortext.dita.rm.topic.tabs	link_xref_tab,image_tab,conref_tab
com.arbortext.dita.rm.map.tabs	topic_tab,new_topic_tab,keydef_tab

For example, you could use the following ACL code to remove the Content Reference tab from the docked Resource Manager dialog box for DITA topics and replace it with the Inclusion tab:

set_user_property(\
'com.arbortext.dita.rm.topic.tabs', \
'link_xref_tab,image_tab,xinclude_tab');

You could use the following ACL code to remove the Key Definition tab and add the Image tab for DITA BookMaps:

set_user_property(\
'com.arbortext.dita.rm.bookmap.tabs', \
'topic_tab,new_topic_tab,keydef_tab,image_tab');
