Updating publishing configurations

After creating a configuration with commonly-used publishing settings, you can change the name, the export process, validation checking, and add or remove profiling attribute Filters. You can also set a configuration to Active so that users can select it when publishing, or set it as Default so it is already selected for them.

Publish configurations are created and managed on the Publish Configuration Management tab.

They help you configure settings once so that users can select it repeatedly without having to choose the settings themselves.

The same settings in the Publish Configuration that an admin creates are also available to the user on the Publish component screen.

  • If the user selects different options on the Publish Component screen, their settings are used if they are in conflict with the Publish Configuration that an admin creates.
  • If the user selects options on the Publish Component screen that don't conflict with the Publish Configuration that an admin creates, then both sets of options are used.
  • Although you can specify the process used to create the output in Export Configuration (Publish), the user can also select it on the Publish Component screen.
    • The user's configuration choice is used to create the output, even if it is in conflict with the Export Configuration (Publish) set in the Publish Configuration by an admin.
    • Examples of Export Configuration (Publish) options can be:
      • PDF
      • HTML
      • Zoomin
