Define the sections available in the CCMS Desktop Information view

The Information view enables you to see additional information about a selected object that is too complex to show in a simple display column. You can configure which types of information are available.

About this task

CAUTION: Use extra caution when editing this file. Be sure you understand the effects of your changes.

By default the Information view displays the following sections:

  • All Values: Displays multiple properties of the selected object, such as filename, id, language, modification dates, etc.
  • Parents: Displays all parents of the selected object. Available for Standard configurations only.
  • Release Management: Displays all DRM versions/branches for the selected object. Available for DRM configurations only.

In addition to these sections, you can choose to display the following:

  • Display Translation: Displays all the target languages for the selected object and the assigned translators
  • Taxonomy: Displays all the taxonomy terms added to the selected object.

  2. Check out and open the /system/conf/informationDisplay.xml in a text editor.
  3. To enable the Display Translation section, remove the comment tags that surround the <section>: 
    <!--<section name="Translation" label="Display Translation" 
    class="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.information.model.TranslationSection"/>-->
  4. To enable the Taxonomy section, remove the comment tags that surround the <section>: 
    <!--<section name="Taxonomy" label="Taxonomy" 
    class="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.information.model.TaxonomySection"/>-->
  5. Add a label for the Taxonomy section.
  6. Save, close, and check in the file.
  7. Inform users of the changes.
