- Signing in to IXIA CCMS Web
  This section explains how to access CCMS Web.
- Navigating IXIA CCMS Web
  The CCMS Web is designed to be intuitive and consistent, making it straightforward to navigate the application.
- Searching for objects
  You can use the Search in the Navigation bar to quickly find IXIA CCMS Web objects.
- Creating and editing content
  In CCMS Web, you can create, edit, and organize topics, maps, images, resources, and other CCMS-specific objects such as Collaborative Reviews, Approvals, and Snapshots.
  - Understanding DRM basics
  - Working with topics
    Topics are the basic containers for all content in IXIA CCMS Web.
  - Working with maps
    Maps provide a structured hierarchy to the objects and content within it.
  - Working with images
    Because images are not text-based content like maps or topics, CCMS Web treats them uniquely.
  - Working with resources
    Resources are non-DITA files (such as PDF files and Word files) that support documentation. You can use resources to upload and store these files in IXIA CCMS. For a definition of what constitutes a resource, see https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/archSpec/base/dita-terminology.html.
  - Working with ditavals
  - Using Spell Checker
    You can use the Spell Checker feature to detect possible spelling errors of words within a topic or a map.
- Using Worklists
  A worklist is a list of objects that you share with a user group. The group uses the worklist to coordinate work on the related objects and tracks related assignments.
- Using Favorites
  You can mark an object as a personal favorite, which adds it to your Favorites side panel so that you can quickly find it and work with it.
- Using the Dependencies view
  Any kind of relationship one object has to another object is called a dependency: all dependencies are reciprocal relationships.
- Using Revision History
  Whenever an important change happens to an object, IXIA CCMS Web creates a new revision. CCMS Web tracks all the changes to an object with each revision and stores the information in the revision history.
- Working with taxonomies
  A taxonomy is a hierarchical classification system that organizes taxonomy terms. Taxonomy terms are a type of metadata, which you can use to classify objects.
- Bulk actions in CCMS Web
  When you select an object in IXIA CCMS Web, the Bulk Actions basket saves your selection to the basket for taking a given action.
- Using Assignments
  You can track all IXIA CCMS Web work assigned to you on the My Assignments page.
- Using Collaborative Reviews
  Reviewers can use the Collaborative Review (CR) feature on the content assigned to them as a means to both provide feedback to writers and view any annotations added by other assigned reviewers.
- Using Approvals
  Use the Approvals feature to get a final sign off on content after completion of all reviews.
- Generating outputs and exporting content
  All of the content that you create can be exported from IXIA CCMS Web to the target document deliverables using the IXIA CCMS Output Generator. The CCMS Output Generator is the component that executes the transformation processes from DITA files to a specified output type, such as PDF, HTML, and XML.
- Technical support
  IXIA CCMS Customer Support staff are available to answer your questions. We welcome your comments.
