View a map asset report for a project map

You can use a DITA map to organize a set of resources, such as topics, into a hierarchy. This feature is useful when producing structured content, such as XHTML, PDF, or Windows Help. In most output formats, the structure of the map becomes the structure of the table of contents. You can view a report to see all of the components referenced in your project map, including topics, images, and other project maps.
