Content reuse in IXIASOFT CCMS Web

Reusing topics and maps

You can reuse the same topic or submap multiples times by searching for and adding it to the same map repeatedly. You can also have different maps share the same submaps or topics.

Conditional profiling attributes

If you want to reuse a topic across many maps, but parts of the topic do not apply in all scenarios, you can use conditional profiling attributes for those parts. Instead of many versions of a topic, you can have one topic with all the alternate versions built into it.

With conditional profiling attributes you can add all the customized parts to one topic so that it can fit all the contexts it appears in. You then hide or show those parts of the topic in the final output so that the topic is always tailored to fit its context.

Conrefs

If you need to reuse an element from one topic in other topics (such as a note), you can insert it in the other topics as a conref. Each element is then an instance of the original element, and any updates to the original element update to all instances across all topics.
