Topic Editor integration with web author

Topic Editor integrates Oxygen Web Author, which is a web-based editor, with IXIA CCMS Web.

Topic Editor allows you to make changes to the contents of a topic.

Note: Topics all have a context map, which is used for resolving keys. Before editing a topic in Topic Editor, confirm it has a context map. Without a context map, important content could be missing from the topic.

Each of the areas within Topic Editor have distinct functions.

  • Identify and choose the context of your content

  • Author, update, or edit your content

  • Get information on a specific object within your map

  • Use the check in function to submit your work to the repository
