Add Generated Front Matter to a Publication
You can add placeholders to a publication structure that will be filled with generated front matter content during a publishing action:
• List of Effective Data Modules (LOEDM)
• Change Record (CR)
• Highlights (HIGH)
• Table of Contents (TOC)
You can add the placeholders at publication root level (in parent and nested publications) or in a publication section.
|
|
Only one of each type of front matter item is permitted in each publication (and each nested publication). They are permitted in any order.
|
To insert a front matter item:
1. Select the publication root, or the publication section in which you want to insert the front matter item.
2. Select one of the following from the Insert New option in the context menu:
◦ Insert New List of effective data modules
◦ Insert New Change record
◦ Insert New Highlights
◦ Insert New Table of Contents
The item is added to the publication structure.
When publishing to PDF, the publishing process generates content for each front matter placeholder present in the publication structure.
When publishing to Servigistics InService A&D, the publishing process generates and populates a descriptive data module to represent each front matter placeholder present in the publication structure. These data modules are present in Servigistics InService A&D output only, they are not saved as objects in Windchill.
Be aware of the following:
• The list of New and Changed data modules for LOEDM and HIGH is extracted by analyzing the status assigned to data modules when publishing against a publication baseline.
Deleted data modules are not noted.
A data module will be included in HIGH if its status is one of these:
◦ New to the publication
◦ Has been raised in issue since last publication issue and has updateHighlights=1 set.
• LOEDM and HIGH include relevant entries from their parent publication only.
• HIGH includes Reason for Update (RFU) information from the latest issue of the data module only.
• HIGH includes a single table of data module code + RFU entries.
• LOEDM generated for Servigistics InService A&D will not include a page count.
