Deprecate conditional attribute values

You can deprecate conditional attribute values so that they no longer appear in the IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop dialogs when you apply conditions.

This can be useful if your deployment has a large number of conditional attributes and some of them are no longer used.

Note: You should make these configuration changes in the Test environment and test them before copying them to the Production environment. In a dedicated SaaS deployment, after testing the changes, ask IXIASOFT Customer Support to copy the changes to the Production environment.

In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
Locate the conditionaltext.xml file in the repository.
Check out the file and open it for editing.

Set the deprecated="true" attribute to the <allowedvalue> element of the value to deprecate.

For example:

<condtextsettings>    
    <category name="Audience" xmlattribute="audience">
        <allowedvalue>expert</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue>novice</allowedvalue>
    </category>
    <category name="Platform" xmlattribute="platform">
        <allowedvalue>linux</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue>mac</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue deprecated="true">solaris</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue>windows</allowedvalue>
    </category>
</condtextsettings>

Save, close, and check in the file.
Inform users of the changes and request that they close and reopen their CCMS Desktop to apply the changes.
