Configure the Document Types panel
You can configure the contents of the Document Types panel in the Search View.
In the default configuration, the Document Types panel lists objects identified in the equivalence.xml file, which determines how DITA and custom objects are handled by the IXIA CCMS interface. Objects that are designated as equivalent to topics, for example, display the same right-click menu options and use searches in a similar manner.
