Inserting a Parent Publication on creation

When you create a Publication you can associate a Parent Publication with the Publication in the Publication BluePrinting tab to create a Child Publication in the BluePrint hierarchy. After you have created a Child Publication, you can only add additional Parent Publications that share the same root Publication.

Before you begin

To create Child Publications, you must have the Child Publication Creation Privilege. To create other Publications, or to delete any Publications, you must have the System Administration Privilege. To modify a Publication or BluePrint, you need Publication Management rights.

To create a BluePrint Child Publication, the Publication you want to select as Parent Publications must have a root Structure Group.

Procedure

  1. Open Content Manager Explorer.
  2. In the Publications navigation pane, select the Content Management node.
  3. Open the Ribbon toolbar Create tab and click New Publication.
    The New Publication window opens.
  4. In the BluePrinting tab, click Add.
  5. Select a Publication and click Insert. You can add more than one Parent to a Child Publication so long as these Parent Publications share the same root Parent.
  6. Change the priorities of Publications as follows:
    • Move Up to raise the priority of that Publication (the higher a Publication’s position in the list, the higher its Priority).
    • Move Down to lower the priority.
    For more information, see Publication priority.
  7. Click Save and Close.

Results

The Content Manager creates the Publication as a Child Publication of the selected Publications. The Content Manager also creates the Default Multimedia Schema, Default Component Template, Default Page Template, and Default Template Building Block. The default items are created in the Building Blocks\Default Templates folder of the new Publication.

By default, any Workflow Process Associations associated with Schemas or Structure Groups in the Parent Publication are not shared to the Child Publication. For more information, see Sharing Process Associations from Parent Publications.
