You can use a Collaborative Review to send a map to IXIA CCMS Web so that multiple reviewers can work
collaboratively to review it.
About this task
The Collaborative Review is an object used to specify the due date, DITAVAL
file, and reviewers for a given map. When the Collaborative Review is created, an
output of the map is generated and sent to CCMS Web, where an assignment is created for each reviewer on
their My Assignments page.
If you want to send specific topics for review instead of an entire map, you can create a
separate map containing only the topics that need review and create a Collaborative
Review for it instead.
To create a Collaborative Review:
Procedure
-
Right-click the map.
-
Click Collaborative
Review.
-
Click Create
Review.
-
In the Title box, type
a title for the Collaborative Review.
By default, the title of the Collaborative Review is the same as the map's title, but it
is recommended that you change it to a more meaningful title for the
Collaborative Review, especially if you have used a DITAVAL file. This title is
the title of the assignment in the My Assignments page in CCMS Web.
- Optional:
In the Message box,
type a message for reviewers to describe the work required.
The message appears as a comment on the assignment banner in
CCMS Web.
-
In the Due Date box,
type a date for when you expect the reviewers to complete their Collaborative
Reviews or click the calendar icon
to select a date.
- Optional:
If you want to use a DITAVAL file, click the browse icon and
select the DITAVAL file you want to apply when the map output is
generated.
- Optional:
If you want to generate a PDF that reviewers can download from
CCMS Web, click the Generate PDF checkbox.
Note: An administrator must configure this option before it is available. For more information
on naming output types for Collaborative Reviews, see Administration Guide for IXIA CCMS.
-
In the Reviewers box, select the checkboxes beside the
names of the people you want to assign to the review.
-
Click OK.
