Create Profiling Attributes

Note: To ensure the validity of the document, the attribute must be already defined in the document DTD or schema before referring it here.

To create custom profiling attributes for a specific document type, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Profiling/Conditional Text preferences page from Window > Preferences > oXygen > Editor > Pages > Author > Profiling / Conditional Text .
  2. In the Profiling Attributes area, press the New button.

    The following dialog is opened:

  3. Fill-in the dialog as follows:
    1. Choose the document type on which the profiling attribute is applied. * and ? are used as wildcards, while ,(comma character) can be used to specify more patterns. For example use DITA* to match any document type name that starts with DITA.
    2. Set the attribute name.
    3. Set a display name. This field is optional, being used only as a more descriptive rendering in application's profiling dialogs.
    4. Use the New, Edit, Delete buttons to add, edit and delete possible values of the attribute. Each attribute value can have a description.
    5. Choose whether the attribute accepts a single value (Single value option checked) or multiple values. Multiple values can be separated by a default delimiter (space, comma, semicolon), or a custom one.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Apply to save the profiling attribute.
