Creating a Map

To create a DITA map, subject scheme map, bookmap, or other types of DITA maps, follow these steps:

  1. Go to File > New > New from Templates. If you want the map to be a submap, you can create it the same way by right-clicking the place in the current map where you want to add it (in the DITA Maps Manager) and selecting New from the Append Child, Insert Before, or Insert After submenu.
    A New document dialog box is opened that allows you to select a document type from various folders.
  2. Select one of the DITA Map templates from the Framework templates folder.
  3. Click the Next button.
  4. Select a parent folder and the file name and click Finish.
  5. Save the map after opening it in the DITA Maps Manager or the Editor.
