Displaying security banners and portion markings

You can configure LiveContent S1000D to display a banner showing the security classification assigned the content in a publication or DM. In addition, you can configure the application to display a marking showing the security classification for each individual portion of content (such as a heading, paragraph, or step) within a publication. This functionality can be enabled at the application level (affecting all publications) or at the publication level.

About this task

If enabled, the security banner for a publication reflects the highest level of security assigned to any content element in the IETM, and is displayed at the top of the LiveContent S1000D user interface. The security banner for a DM reflects the highest level of security assigned to any content element in the DM, and is displayed directly below the navigation panel (above the main content panel). The following example shows the locations of the security banners.

The security banner for a DM appears at the top of page when you display the DM in a tear-off page.

By default, this functionality is disabled. Edit the wietmsd_prg.xml file as follows to enable it at the application level or the wietmsd.xml to enable it at the publication level.
