This section contains general information about the IXIA CCMS configuration.
Your configuration may require you to modify the appearance and function of the user interface.
In the IXIA Dynamic Release Management (DRM) module of IXIA CCMS Web, users with the required access rights can create a new instance of a map to either add it to a new branch or add it to an existing branch for what was an unrelated map.
By changing the configuration of some indexes in the Index Definition file, you can allow users to reuse content from any topic in IXIA CCMS Web.
In IXIA CCMS Web, the initial status for a new object depends on the role of the user who creates the object. For example, if a writer and a contributor both create the same type of object, the new objects could start with different statuses.
In IXIA CCMS Web, whenever you assign an object to another user, you also automatically becomes an assignee for that object.
IXIA CCMS Web uses a two-steps process to create Collaborative Reviews and Approvals.
You can configure the Approvals feature to automatically change status according to the percentage of approvers who accept or reject an object in the Approval cycle.
You can configure IXIA CCMS Web to send users an email notification when certain events occur.
IXIA CCMS Web uses Oxygen frameworks to deliver much of the authoring functionality. These frameworks can be extended (i.e. customized) to suit any specific authoring needs by using framework extensions.
Triggers are sets of code that automatically invoke when a CCMS Web user performs a given action or when there is a change in status.
Oxygen provides several plugins for Oxygen Web Author.
