Create a Process with the Collection-Type Attribute
You can create a process to organize a sequence of task topics.
Important:
Linking created by adjusting the collection-type attribute is compatible with the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) publishing scenarios with the args.rellinks parameter set to all, and Heretto Portal publishing. It is not compatible with Heretto PDF Generator publishing.
Do the following:
- Create a task topic that you will use as a process topic.
- Create or find existing task topics (procedures) that you will use as process steps.
- Create or find an existing map to which you want to add a process.
- Add the required topics to the map:
- Add the process topic to the map.
- Add the task topics (procedures) under the process topic.
For more information, see Add Existing Content to a Map.Tip: To easily reuse processes, you can keep the process topic and the task topics in a dedicated process map and reuse the process map in multiple publication maps.Figure 1.
