You can modify your Heretto Portal by adding and editing the configuration and style files in your Heretto CCMS. Each configuration and style file has a specific purpose and is responsible for different parts of the portal.

Customization Files

You can upload various files types  to  Heretto CCMS, including DITA files, images, configuration files, and other allowed files.

Upload Files to Heretto CCMS

You prepare a sitemap for Heretto Portal customizations by adding a <sitemeta> element to the sitemap.

Prepare a Sitemap for Heretto Portal Customizations

You can edit the Heretto Portal configuration files
		directly in Heretto CCMS.

Edit the Existing Heretto Portal Customizations

You can add a custom logo, footer, title, and more by overwriting the default Heretto Portal settings.

Customize the Heretto Portal Settings

Overwriting the default Heretto Portal style enables you to customize its look and feel.

            <p class="p">Deployments are essential configuration elements that determine which content is published, where it's published, and under what conditions.

            <p class="p"><span class="ph">Deploy API</span> supports two deployment types:</p>

                        <p class="p">Active sync is valuable for preview environments where teams need to see work-in-progress content. Due to its immediate nature and the risk of publishing work-in-progress content, active sync is not available for production portal environments.</p>
                    </dd><dt class="dt dlterm"><span class="ph b">Manual Deploy</span></dt><dd class="dd">
                        <p class="p">Requires deliberate user action to initiate the publishing process. Content updates remain in the CCMS until a user manually publishes a deployment.

                    </dd></dl>
        </section><section class="section"><h3 class="title sectiontitle" id="how-content-becomes-a-deployment-0">How Content Becomes a Deployment</h3>
            
            <p class="p">Once content is passed from <span class="ph">Heretto CCMS</span> through a deployment to <span class="ph">Deploy API</span>, it is processed into a final output and served to the <span class="ph">Heretto Portal</span> or other delivery endpoints.</p>
            <p class="p">Processing a deployment involves evaluating raw DITA content and associated assets and converting them into a final output used to serve the content to its final delivery endpoint for end-user consumption. All deployment processing starts in <span class="ph">Heretto CCMS</span> with the deployment configuration and a DITA map (sitemap). At a high level, the following happens during a deployment processing:</p>
            <ul class="ul"><li class="li">
                    <p class="p">Deployment instructions indicate the audiences and the locales (target languages) that are included.</p>
                </li><li class="li">
                    <p class="p">The map defines the scope of the deployment.</p>
                </li><li class="li">
                    <p class="p">All content files for a tenant are located and made available.</p>
                </li><li class="li">
                    <p class="p">All source content is processed into a normalized structure with all necessary information for output. </p>
                    <p class="p">This process involves steps such as: evaluating document metadata, including or excluding review markup, processing conditional sets, processing keyrefs and xrefs, link correction, and processing tables and figures.</p>
                </li></ul>
            <p class="p">At this point, there is an ephemeral in-memory representation of the full set of content in an intermediate state that is <em class="ph i">nearly</em> final. The content is ready to be rapidly transformed into a final output format, like HTML. This process of building a content set in its <em class="ph i">nearly</em> final state is used by both active sync and manual deploy deployments. How the two deployment types use this process varies, as described below.</p>
            <dl class="dl"><dt class="dt dlterm">Active Sync Processing</dt><dd class="dd">
                        <p class="p">With an active sync deployment, the process is always on, hosting the content in its <em class="ph i">nearly</em> final state. The content in this case is hosted within <span class="ph">Deploy API</span>. </p>
                        <p class="p">There are two reasons it works this way. The content can be quickly returned in the final format to serve content requests. Additionally, the intermediate in-memory state is ideal for quickly integrating content changes from the CCMS.</p>
                        <p class="p">The primary benefit of this structure is the rapid integration of new content. That benefit comes with some expense:</p>
                        <ul class="ul"><li class="li">
                                <p class="p">The representation is ephemeral and must be reprocessed at restart</p>
                            </li><li class="li">
                                <p class="p">All content must fit in memory</p>
                            </li><li class="li">
                                <p class="p">An error in content can impact the APIs ability to respond to content requests</p>
                            </li><li class="li">
                                <p class="p">Auto scaling the API is slow because of the initial processing duration</p>
                            </li></ul>
                    </dd><dt class="dt dlterm">Manual Deploy Processing</dt><dd class="dd">
                        <p class="p">With a manual deployment, the process of building the set of content in its <em class="ph i">nearly</em> final state happens outside of <span class="ph">Deploy API</span>. When deployment publishing is triggered, a publishing job is initiated that performs the processing. At the end of processing the content, a snapshot is generated. The snapshot includes: all the files used for processing, an immutable database with all content in its final form, and search indexes. Upon completion of processing and storage, the <span class="ph">Deploy API</span> switches to serving content from the new immutable database.</p>
                        <p class="p">There are multiple benefits to this mode of operation:</p>
                        <ul class="ul"><li class="li">
                                <p class="p">All content processing happens outside of the production API, reducing the risk that a content error makes the API unavailable</p>

Heretto Deploy API

FAQs

Heretto Deploy API is the crucial content delivery service that processes content from Heretto CCMS and transforms it into formats that can be delivered to end-users. The processed content is then delivered through the Heretto Portal or other delivery endpoints such as websites, applications, devices, or machines.

Search pages

Defining audiences in a map or for a deployment enables your content to reach the recipients you intend for it. This way users receive the information that is relevant to them, and are restricted from accessing other content.

Filtering and Personalization

The endpoint URL structure in the next generation Heretto Deploy API (v4) has been improved. The changes affect both active sync and manual deployments. Customers delivering content to third-party endpoints must update their code.

Developing Templates

You customize the Heretto PDF Generator template
            style by using CSS. You can also use HTML to modify the cover page and XSLT to apply
            advanced structural customizations.

Heretto PDF Generator Templates Development

In Heretto CCMS, you can add annotations, for example, callouts to images. Annotations can be globally styled in PDF Generator publishing scenarios according to your branding
        needs.

Styling Annotated Images

You can use advanced XSL to perform complex transformations in PDF Generator outputs. When planning to use advanced XSLT in your PDF Generator scenarios, consider this important information.
