Service Structure Attributes
Service structures and their components have attributes common to many other types of Windchill objects. Information structures and publication structures also have some unique attributes. You can view the majority of these attributes from the following locations:
• Details tab on the information page
• Attributes tab on the Structure tab of the information page
• More Attributes customization of a tab on an information page
The attributes that are visible depend on the type of component and which method you are using to view the attributes. The following two attributes always appear on an information page:
• Version — Appears after the object name at the top of the page.

Exclude content from output
This attribute determines whether the content referenced from the component is included in published output. The default is No meaning to include the content in published representations. If set to Yes, the content does not appear in generated output.
This attribute is only available on publication sections, information groups, and all types of content holders.
Exclude title from Table of Contents
This attribute determines whether the title for the content referenced from the component is included in the table of contents for published output. In this case, the content is included in the representation but is not included in the table of contents. The default is No meaning to include the title in the table of contents. If set to Yes, the content does not appear in generated output.
This attribute is only available on publication sections, information groups, and all types of content holders.
Apply title from content
This attribute determines whether the title from the XML content referenced from the component is used in the table of contents for published output. The alternative is to use the name of the content holder. The default is No meaning to include the name of the content holder in the table of contents.
This attribute is only available on a publication section and textual content holder.
Content Attribute and Content Holder Attribute Synchronization
Information in content holders and content objects is synchronized. This includes parts lists, dynamic documents, and documents, along with their content holders.
Changes to one object are reflected in the other object, including the following:
• Name
• State
• Description
• Version
• Checkout state
Exceptions include the following:
• If the lifecycle templates are different, the state is not synchronized.
• The description attribute for a dynamic document cannot be edited after creation.
• If the content and content holder are not using the same versioning scheme, versioning is not synchronized.
• If the content object is a textual content information element, the checkin and checkout states are not synchronized.
