Configuring LiveContent Central
Configure LiveContent Central for your organization.
- Configuring LiveContent Central Services for HTTPS
If you use the HTTPS protocol, perform this task to configure LiveContent Central Services to use an SSL connection. - Component properties reference
These are required component properties that you edit in the file components.xml, located in the templates/.../config/ subdirectory of your skin directory. - Customizing look & feel and functionality
Customize application templates if you want to change the look & feel and functionality of LiveContent Central. Each publication that you produce with LiveContent Central Publishing Server can use these customized templates. - Encrypting sensitive data
Encryption converts plain text passwords into an unreadable format making your information more secure. This helps safeguard your accounts and sensitive data from unauthorized access. By default, passwords are encrypted in LiveContent Central. - Initiating LiveContent Central sessions securely using JWT tokens
If an external system needs to start a LiveContent Central session securely, then this can be achieved through the use of a JWT token. The calling system must store publication identifiers and user credentials in a JSON Web Token (JWT), encrypt that token and pass the token in, when calling LiveContent Central. LiveContent Central will then decrypt that token and use the information contained to start a secure session. - Configuring ISO entities
By default, an ISOEntities package is included in LiveContent Central. You can configure this setting to use a custom location. - Customizing the LiveContent Central user interface
You can edit configuration files to customize the layout and behavior of the LiveContent Central user interface. - Configuring search
You can configure search categories and advanced search options. - Configuring generic PDF properties
You can dynamically configure the headers and footers for a publication. These headers and footers are defined in an XSL template: etc/styles/s1000d/template_pdf.xsl. The application defines several parameters that it passes to this template. You can define additional parameters yourself. You can also configure a watermark image and configure how certain elements are positioned on the page. - Configuring fonts for PDF localization
To ensure support for targeted languages in PDF output, configure LiveContent Central to use a font family that includes a complete set of characters for the language in which the PDF will be produced. - Supporting additional media types
LiveContent Central has built in support for many media types. Each media type is represented as an object in LiveContent. You may, however, have a need to use a media type not natively supported in LiveContent. In this case, you can extend the list of supported media types to suit your needs. - Compressing large files
You can configure LiveContent Central to automatically compress large files before transmitting them to the browser to improve the time it takes to load some graphics and other large files in an IETP. - Applicability
Use applicability markup in your XML to enable the presentation of personalized views of content. Views of content can be filtered at runtime based on criteria such as equipment, conditions, skill level, available tools or security clearance. - Generic forms
Generic forms make it easy to capture and record information entered by a user. If there is paperwork for ordering parts or requesting a content update, generic forms can help capture and process that data. If users fill out, print and submit paper forms (such as satisfaction surveys or warranty registrations) today, you can use generic forms to bring that process into your electronic delivery and capture that information for later use. - Adding publication front matter
The front matter of a publication is what users see when they open a publication or when they click Home. Front matter may identify the technical publication, its issue number or distribution restrictions. It may also be an introductory animation or a locator graphic that helps the user navigate the manual. Front matter can be simple XHTML including images or interactive graphics. - Suppressing referenced Data Modules in the table of contents
In order for LiveContent Central to resolve Data Modules, they must be referenced in a Publication Module. By default, any referenced Data Modules also appear in the table of contents. If you do not want a specific referenced Data Module to appear in the table of contents, you can suppress it. - Suppressing loading of figures
As a performance optimization, you can configure LiveContent Central to suppress the automatic loading of figures when a user steps through a Process or Procedure Data Module and lands on a step with an associated figure. - Localizing a publication or collection
You can configure LiveContent Central to display the elements of a single IETM or a collection in a language you specify.
