Specify top-level map types to exclude from search

You can specify the types of maps you want to exclude from searches for top-level parents of objects, such as a topic's context map.

To specify top-level map types to exclude from search:

  1. In the system/webplatform/configuration folder, check out and open the web.platform.config.xml file.
  2. Add the exclude.as.top.level.map property.

    Entry

    Function

    Sample

    exclude.as.top.level.map

    Specify the map types to exclude, with each map type separated by a space.

    		 
    <entry key="exclude.as.top.level.map">chaptermap newsubmap</entry>
    Note: Use the unique object type of the map as it appears in the maps' DOCTYPE declarations and in the equivalence.xml configuration file.
  3. Save, close, and check in the file.
    The specified map types are not included when you search for top-level object parents.
