Creating a Service Structure
You can create a new, empty information structure or publication structure:
• From the
Actions menu or the toolbar of a
Service Structure table, choose
New Information Structure or
New Publication Structure.
• From the Actions menu for a product or library, choose > or > .
You can create a new service structure from an existing service structure:
• You can save an existing service structure with its content as a new structure. You can choose which dependent objects to include in the new structure. See
Saving Commonspace Objects as New Objects for more information.
• You can create an information structure and a publication structure from a template. Templates are found in the
Templates folder of the product or library. See
Service Structure Templates for more information.
• You can save just the organizational structure of a service structure, without its content, as a new master structure. You can then reuse a basic structure to create new, similar service structures. See
Saving a Service Structure as a Master Structure.
You can also generate a publication structure from an information structure. When you generate a publication structure, the components of the information structure are transformed to the components of the publication structure. You can filter the view of the information structure and then generate a publication structure from the visible elements. Information groups are transformed into publication sections, and their valid and supported contents are included. For more information, see
Generating a Publication Structure.
