Technical Information Application
Arbortext provides the Technical Information Application. This application is a set of DITA topics based on the DITA 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0 Specification that is intended for developing information about service operations and parts. The topics work in conjunction with Windchill Service Information Manager and Windchill Service Parts. Refer to the Windchill documentation for more information about these features.
You can use these topics to develop service information or as a starting point for developing your own specialized DITA topics. The following topic types are available in the application:
