Selecting conditions for your publication

You can customize your publications using Content Manager conditions. If you have conditional data tagged in your publication, Content Manager publishing allows you to easily select the conditional data to use in the output at publication time so you can produce personalized output for your readers.

About this task

The condition selection you make applies to all output formats for the version of the publication. However, different versions of a publication can have different condition selections.

Procedure

  1. In the Publication Manager, click the Conditions tab.
    The conditions selected for the publication are listed. The list indicates the conditional data that will be included in the output when you publish. If the list is empty, no selections were made.
  2. Click the Modify button on the top left.
    The Select Conditions dialog appears.
  3. Click to check the box next to the conditions you want to include in your publication. A check in the box indicates that all elements tagged with that condition are to be included in the output.
    Use the Deselect All Conditions option at the top to deselect conditions that have already been applied, or use the Select All Conditions to apply all conditions to your publication.
  4. Optionally, before saving, you can filter the selection to verify what is selected to be included or excluded from your publication.
    • Display All Conditions: displays all conditions defined in the repository.
    • Display Conditions Used in Publication: displays all conditions that are used in the publication that is opened.
    • Display Unused Conditions: displays all conditions that are not used in the publication that is opened.
    • Display Selected Conditions: only displays the conditions that are selected in the publication that is opened.
  5. Click OK.
    The selected conditions are listed.
