Using an abbreviated Publication name in the Business Manager

The <ShortPublicationName> element indicates an abbreviated Publication name to use in the Business Manager.

About this task

By default, the full Publication name is affixed to Segment labels in the Business Manager. You can configure an abbreviated name to use instead of the Publication title in the <ShortPublicationName> section of the smarttarget_conf.xml configuration file. If you specify a short Publication name it is also added to labels used for Schema field labels.

Procedure

  1. Open the smarttarget_conf.xml configuration file.

    The file is used in several locations in your installation: Where to find smarttarget_conf.xml

  2. In the <ShortPublicationName> section, create a <Publication> element for each Publication you want to map and specify the Content Manager URI of the Publication in the Uri attribute and the string you want to map it to. For example:
    <ShortPublicationName>
        <Publication Uri="tcm:0-3-1">en</Publication>
        <Publication Uri="tcm:0-4-1">de</Publication>
    </ShortPublicationName>
  3. Save and close smarttarget_conf.xml.
