Specifying the initial topic

When you open a publication, the information you initially see is derived from the map. Instead of displaying this map data, Legacy Content Delivery lets you nominate an initial topic of your choosing that displays your preferred content.

Before you begin

You must have Admin permissions to specify an initial topic.

Obtain the document ID of the topic that you want to nominate as the initial topic. You can examine the topic's URL in a web browser to glean its document ID.

Procedure

  1. Select Manage Publications.
  2. Select a publication.
  3. Select a language version of that publication.
  4. In the right pane, under Configuration, select Add Item.
    The Add Item pop-up window appears.
  5. In the Name field, enter initial_topic.
  6. In the Value field, enter the document ID of the topic that you want to nominate as the initial topic that displays when the publication is opened.
  7. Select Save.

Results

When you open the publication, the content displayed is from the topic that you nominated rather than from the map data.
