Create a Collaborative Review

A Collaborative Review allows you to select a map to be sent to IXIASOFT CCMS Web for multiple people to work collaboratively to review its contents.

The Collaborative Review is an object used to specify the due date, DITAVAL file, and reviewers for a given map. When the Collaborative Review is created, an output of the map is generated using the specified DITAVAL file and sent to IXIASOFT CCMS Web where an assignment is created for each reviewer on their Assignments page.

If you want to send specific topics for review instead of an entire map, you can create a separate map containing only the topics you want reviewed and create a Collaborative Review for it instead.

  1. Right-click the map.
  2. Click Collaborative Review.
  3. Click Create Review.
  4. In the Title box, type a title for the Collaborative Review.
    By default, the title of the Collaborative Review is the same as the map's title, but it is recommended that you change it to a more meaningful title for the Collaborative Review, especially if you have used a DITAVAL file. This title is appears as the title of the assignment in the Assignments page in IXIASOFT CCMS Web.
  5. In the Message box, type a message which will appear in the assignment banner in the IXIASOFT CCMS Web.
    It is recommended that you provide a meaningful message to describe the work required since this message appears in the Assignments page in IXIASOFT CCMS Web.
  6. In the Due Date box, type a date for when you expect the reviewers to complete their Collaborative Reviews or click the calendar icon Calendar icon to select a date.
  7. If you want to use a DITAVAL file, click the browse icon and select the DITAVAL file you want to apply when the map output is generated.
  8. In the Reviewers box, select the checkboxes beside the names of the people you want assigned to review the map.
  9. Click OK.
    Assignments are created for each reviewer and appear on their Assignments page in IXIASOFT CCMS Web.
