Adding output to a publication in the Web Client

Add defined output formats to your publications to allow users to choose how they want to render their output.

Procedure

  1. In SDL LiveContent Architect web client, Repository view, navigate to the publication for which you want to create a new output format.
  2. Select the publication in the upper right pane, then click the New Output button in the bottom right pane.
    A dialog appears where you can select the output format and define parameters for the output.
  3. Select the Output format you want to add.
    Depending on the format you select, different options may be enabled or disabled.
  4. Language combination is a required field; select the languages for this publication.
  5. Select Fallback languages for the content, the images, and resource files that may be missing in the requested language.
  6. Enter a Review end date.
    If using SDL LiveContent Reach for reviewing, commenting, and editing, when the Review end date date is reached, reviewers can no longer modify the content of the publication.
  7. If supported by the output format, you can select to include extra content in the output like metadata, comments, watermark, and have differences highlighted as compared to a previous version.

Results

The output format is added to the publication with the status to be published. The actual rendering of the XML content in an output format is initiated in a separate publish action.
