Create a reusable component (conref)

You store reusable components in a topic of type referable-content so that you can search for them with the Referable-Content view and insert them into other topics.

1. Create a topic of type referable-content.
2. Open the referable-content topic in your XML editor.
3. Place your cursor inside the <rcbody> element.
4. Enter the text you want to reuse in other topics.
   You can use any valid XML element. You could, for example, create the following note:

   <note>To use Kerberos authentication, the client application and TEXTML Server 
   must be running on Windows. Linux is not supported. 
   </note>

5. In the opening tag of the source text, insert an ID attribute.
   For example, you might use the string "kerberos_prerequisites", which would give you the following code:

   <note id="kerberos_prerequisites">To use Kerberos authentication, the 
         client application and TEXTML Server must be running on Windows. Linux is not supported. 
   </note>

   Note: The IXIA CCMS Desktop will automatically insert an ID to any element that is a direct child of <rcbody> when you release the topic. If you prefer, you can use these automatic IDs instead of inserting your own.
6. Save and release the referable-content topic.
7. Add the topic to a referable component library map.
