Enable run-time selection of a Madcap Central project

You can enable run-time selection of a Madcap Central project using standard CCMS Output Generator user parameters.

About this task

When your users require publication to multiple Madcap Central projects, you can provide them with the ability to select a project during output generation using the user parameter feature of the CCMS Output Generator.

Consider that it's reasonable for a user to know the project name, but it's less likely they know the project id, so the user parameter approach might not be as practical as separate output types and preprocessors.

Procedure

  1. Edit the ccms2central.project preprocessor in the conf\client\preprocessors.xml file.
  2. Create user parameters for the project, name, and project.id properties.
    Note: For details refer to Add user parameters.
