Types of dependencies

There are different kinds of dependencies, and each object type in CCMS Web has different kinds of dependencies.

Note: In Dependencies view, if any type does not have a subtype, then no subtype bubbles are displayed. In this case, all the objects with that type of dependency are usually all the same type of object.

The following table lists the types and subtypes of dependencies for each object type::

Object Types of Dependencies

  • Referenced by: The maps that the ditaval is referenced in.
  • Instances / Clones: Clones of the ditaval or instances of it in other branches, divided into these subtypes:
    • Other Instances: Other instances of the ditaval in other Branches.
    • Cloned from: The ditaval that the current ditaval is cloned from.
    • Cloned to: Other ditavals made from the current ditaval.
Images
  • Referenced by: The topics and referable content that the image is used in.
  • Instances / Clones: Clones of the image or instances of it in other branches, divided into these subtypes:
    • Other Instances: Other instances of the image in other Branches.

    • Cloned to: Other clones made from the current image.
Maps
  • Referenced by: Other objects that reference or contain the map.
