Configure which element to use for taxonomy terms

The taxonomySettings.xml file in the system configuration enables you to determine which prolog metadata element (<category> or <keyword>) you want to use when inserting taxonomy terms from the Taxonomy view.

When you add taxonomy terms to a topic or map using the Taxonomy view, the IXIA CCMS adds these terms using the <category> element within the prolog, similar to the following example:

<prolog>
   <metadata>
      <category>crosstrek
         <data datatype="ixia-taxonomy-term" id="tax1394562176041:tnd1406743949405:tnd1406744125444" value="Autos/SUV/Crosstrek"/>
      </category>
      <category>suv
         <data datatype="ixia-taxonomy-term" id="tax1394562176041:tnd1406743949405" value="Autos/SUV"/>
      </category>

   </metadata>
</prolog>

If you use a dynamic publishing system that requires the <keyword> element rather than <category>, or if you simply prefer to use <keyword>, you can easily make this change.

Important: Make configuration changes in a test environment and confirm they work before copying them to a production environment. For dedicated SaaS deployments, test the changes and then ask IXIA CCMS Customer Support to copy the changes to your production environment.
  1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
  2. Locate the taxonomySettings.xml file in the repository's /system/conf collection.
  3. Check out the file and open it for editing.
  4. Edit the <storageElement> to be "keyword". 
    <storageElement type="keyword"/>
  5. Save, close, and check in the file.
  6. Inform users of the changes.
    The changes will be applied automatically once users close and then reopen their IXIA CCMS Desktop. Users can also apply the changes without restarting their CCMS Desktop by clicking IXIA CCMS > Synchronize Configuration.
