User perspective

Multichannel Publishing

The dashboard offers a practical overview of the existing projects and products with the tiles. Clicking on Display takes you to the detail view, where you can find various editing options as well as further information about the areas of application and intended uses.

Products can be published in different formats via different services. For this purpose, production services are stored by the administrator in the respective product type. Each of these services allows publication in a specific format.

To create a publication using the Transpect module Jats2Html proceed as follows:

1. Navigate to the list of products on the Publishing Dashboard
2. Select the desired product and click on it to switch to the view of the product
   Note: The product type of the product must have a Transpect deployment format assigned to it
3. In this view, the structure of the product is displayed to the right of the action menu. Select the product at the very top of the structure tree.
4. Select the "Add XML Content" action from the action menu
5. In the following search dialog, select one or more Xeditor documents from the Digital Asset Management and add them to the product.
   Note: XML content can be assigned directly below the product at the top level or, if the schema supports it, below existing XML content.
6. Once you have assigned all the XML files associated with this product to the structure tree, select a first-level Xeditor document (partial production) or the top node of the tree, the product (total production).
7. In the action menu on the left click on the "Publish" entry
8. In the following dialog, select the desired Antenna House deployment format and an output option and confirm with "Next".
9. Finally, assign a name for the new publication to be created and confirm with "Next".  
   In the list of "Publications" on the dashboard, you will now see a new entry with a gear icon. Once the production service has successfully processed the content, the gear icon disappears and the result is ready for download.
10. Open the context menu by right-clicking on your publication and select the "Download" entry

The result of a successful Transpect publication is a .zip file containing the following folder structure:

• images
  Contains the list of image files sent to the publication service.  
• index.html
  Contains the actual result of the publication
• index.xml
  Contains the XML template for the transformation
• report.log
  Contains the log output of the Transpect production service

Note: For each Xeditor document (XML) on the first level of the structure tree, you will receive a numbered folder (1,2,3, …) in the result that contains the HTML publication and its images.

Digital Asset Management

A transpect production can also be started on a single Xeditor document, a selection of Xeditor documents in Digital Asset Management and a repository in Digital Asset Management.

The user requires a full access license for multichannel publishing so that the “Publish” action is displayed directly in the DAM.

Transpect productions created in this way are saved on the Xeditor document and can be viewed via the properties of the document (“Productions” form page).
