This section lists features and enhancements that were introduced in Contenta S1000D 5.10.
S1000D Issue 5.0 Support
- The following enhancements have been made to support the
infoNameVariantelement introduced in Issue 5.0.- Upload Content and Arbortext and Oxygen Check In tools populate or update the Information Name Variant DM property field when uploading or checking in an Issue 5.0 DM that contains an
infoNameVarianttag. - A new Information Name Variant field has been added to CSV files. The sample CSV file for Issue 5.0, DMRL-sample_S1000D_50.csv, includes Information Name Variant examples.
- Upload Codes extracts and imports the Information Name Variant (when present) in a CSV or Issue 5.0 DMRL file.
- The Insert Reference editor plug-in includes
infoNameVariantindmRefmarkup if the referencing and referenced DMs are Issue 5.0 and theinfoNameVariantelement exists in the referenced DM. - The Clip Reference tool inserts the
infoNameVariant(when present) into the code block for a 5.0 Data ModuledmRef. - Manage Programs inserts the Information Name Variant (when present) into the exported CSV or Issue 5.0 DMRL file.
- Manage DMRL contains an Information Name Variant column and displays that data when present. In addition, the export link in the Manage DMRL and Manage IRL user interfaces is now labeled EXPORT CSV.
- LiveContent Preview displays the
infoNameVariantas part of the Data Module title in the Task tab (when displaying a 5.0 DM that includes an infoNameVariant). - When publishing to LiveContent S1000D, S1000D Publish displays the
infoNameVariant(if it exists) with theinfoNamewherever it appears if the user selects theTechName and InfoNameorInfoName Onlyoption for ToC Title Display. - Before publishing to XPP, updated XPP style files must be extracted from the delivered s1kdXppCssStyles.zip and copied to your XPP style library. Then, when publishing to XPP, S1000D Publish displays the
infoNameVariant(if it exists) as part of the Data Module title in the Publication TOC, LOEDM, and 5.0 Data Modules.
- Upload Content and Arbortext and Oxygen Check In tools populate or update the Information Name Variant DM property field when uploading or checking in an Issue 5.0 DM that contains an
The following tools have been enhanced to support longer issue numbers introduced in Issue 5.0.
PM Builder allows 3-5 digit issue numbers in the PM Properties form.
Upload Codes allows 3-5 digit issue numbers in an Issue 5.0 DMRL's
identAndStatusSectionand indmRefsin the content section.Manage Programs allows 3-5 digit issue numbers when validating the Export DMRL form for an Issue 5.0 DMRL, and inserts longer issue numbers into the Issue 5.0 DMRL XML file.
The following tools have been enhanced to support the optional Control Authority Group section introduced in Issue 5.0.
PM Builder preserves the
controlAuthorityGroupsection in theidentAndStatusSectionof Issue 5.0 Publication Modules. PM Builder detectscontrolAuthorityRefsattributes onpmEntry,dmRef, orpmReftags in the content section of Issue 5.0 PMs and handles these as unsupported markup.Upload Codes detects the
controlAuthorityGroupsection in Issue 5.0 DMRLs and stores this XML markup in the CSDB.Manage Programs displays a new Control Authority Group field in the Export DMRL form, pre-populates this field with stored XML markup (when present), and inserts the
controlAuthorityGroupsection into the Issue 5.0 DMRL XML file.LiveContent Preview suppresses the
controlAuthorityGroupsection (the same handling as similar sections such asdataRestrictions) when displaying an Issue 5.0 Data Module.DDN Export displays a new Control Authority Group field where a user may enter optional
controlAuthorityGroupXML markup. DDN Export inserts this markup (when present) into the Issue 5.0 DDN XML file.When publishing to XPP, S1000D Publish suppresses the
controlAuthorityGroupsection but resolvescontrolAuthorityRefsattributes on selected tags, displaying several types of controlled data, marked with a yellow flag note symbol per S1000D specification guidelines and examples. Updated XPP style files must be extracted from the delivered s1kdXppCssStyles.zip and copied to your XPP style library. Selected tags includepara,listItem,notePara,warningAndCautionPara,proceduralStep,isolationStep, andisolationProcedureEnd. This work may be extended to additional tags as needed.
- Contenta S1000D Foundation Suite has been updated to create Issue 5.0 Data Modules.
Enhanced CGM support for Oxygen XML Author
Contenta S1000D now provides support for redlining, hotspotting, and enhanced display of CGM graphics in Oxygen XML Author. CGMs exported when a Data Module is checked out for hotspotting or redlining are temporarily converted to SVG format. This temporary conversion has no effect on the source graphic or checkout/checkin.
For more information about these enhancements, refer to Exporting and displaying graphics when you check out a module in the Contenta S1000D documentation.
Enhanced CIR support

For Issue 4.1 and later, items can be inserted only from a CIR; inserting reusable components from a CSDB reusable component directory is no longer supported for these issues.
To customize inserted markup and display of search results by CIR type, contact RWS Professional Services.
For more information about these enhancements, refer to Inserting items from a CIR or a CSDB reusable components repository in the Contenta S1000D documentation.
Contenta S1000D Publish enhancements
Contenta S1000D now supports filtering of available publish configuration files in the S1000D Publish UI. Adding a new, optional PubConfigFiles AppData setting (under the key) causes only specified publish configuration files to be displayed in the Configurations drop down. If this setting is not present, all available publish configuration files are displayed.
LiveContent_ExtraConfigdefines the path of the extra configuration file ([contenta_view_install_dir]/templates/conf/system/s1000d.xml by default).LiveContent_FrontMatterdefines the path of the XSL file used to generate IETM front matter ([Contenta_root_dir]/encaps/S1000D/LiveContent_FrontMatter.xsl by default).
Updated DDN Export user interface
The DDN Export UI has been updated to include all parts of the identAndStatusSection. Fields in this UI have been reordered to better match the order in the XML and to place required fields before optional fields. User-entered data in the new fields is validated similarly to validation of existing user-supplied data.
