CCMS Desktop Dynamic Release Management User Guide
- Introduction
  The Dynamic Release Management module provides flexible and powerful release management features to support organizations that manage a large number of products.
- About the Dynamic Release Management module
  This section describes the Dynamic Release Management module.
  - Overview
    The Dynamic Release Management (DRM) module allows technical publication teams to easily manage the documentation for multiple products across multiple release cycles.
  - Implementing and using Dynamic Release Management
    Implementing and using Dynamic Release Management in your deployment involves the following steps:
  - Understanding containers
    The DRM implementation is supported by a DITA map specialization called container.
  - Understanding DRM libraries
    A library is a collection of objects that can be shared between different product versions.
  - Understanding multi-level libraries
    Multi-level libraries allow documentation organizations to organize their content libraries in layers so that they match the product architecture.
  - Use libraries in your documents
    Libraries contain topics that can be shared between different product in the DRM. To use libraries, you first create the initial library structure, the same way that you create a product structure.
  - Working on multiple documentation versions in parallel
    Branching and updating previous versions allow you to work on multiple documentation versions in parallel.
  - Associate DRM files with an XML editor
    When you create a product, library, release, or version, IXIASOFT CCMS creates an XML file that defines that product, library, release, or version.
  - Displaying the Dynamic Release Management view
    The Dynamic Release Management view lists the products, libraries, releases, and versions that are configured for your deployment.
- Set up the documentation structure
  Before writers can add objects (maps, topics, images, resources) to IXIASOFT CCMS, the documentation structure must be set up.
- Add the documentation to versions
  When the documentation structure is set up, writers can add content to versions.
- Version tags
  This section describes the version tag feature.
- Comparing and synchronizing documents
  This section describes the synchronization feature and various comparison tools.
- Setting your environment to use the DRM
  This section provides procedures for searching DRM objects, filtering objects, etc.
- About Content Level Security
  The following section examines how Content Level Security works with content defined within the Dynamic Release Management environment.
