Content view in Map Editor

In the Content view, you have access to a Map Editor that integrates IXIA CCMS Web with Oxygen Web Author, which is a web-based editor.

The Oxygen Web Author toolbar in the Content view has more options for editing maps than in Structure view. The following are some of the actions you can take while in the Content view:

  • View a map's table of contents while in a topic and use it to go to the link for a listed topic
  • Add comments to a map
  • Create new topics and add them
  • Promote and demote topics
  • Search for and add existing topics
  • Track changes on a map
Note: Icons for editing a map are dimmed in the read-only mode. Check out the map to access all the actions on the toolbar.

In Content view, there are two modes for seeing maps: the topic content and the topic structure with references.

  • View Topic Content mode includes content and elements within the organizational structure of the map. Use this mode to access document content contained within that topic.

    Note: If you have a topic checked out for editing, the Content view displays the current content in the checked-out version. You might need to refresh the page to see updates you make in the topic.
