Nested Topics in Files View When No DITA Map Directly Added

[dreifsnider]

Hi Oxygen Support,

My team noticed that when they add topics from the DITA Maps Manager side-view to a review task, and they select to also include the topic's children, and no DITA Map is directly added to the review task, that the list of topics in the Files view are still nested and the nesting does not match the hierarchy defined in the DITA Map.

This has lead to confusion with some of our reviewers who have become concerned that topics are nested when they shouldn't be. We have communicated to the reviewers that the Files view in Content Fusion is not an actual hierarchy or representation of the document's structure, but they still have found it confusing.

I've put together a short video that demonstrates this behavior: https://sie.box.com/s/36lem3kwn9oqhfozk9zybo0s6nnihtp8

Ideally, we would expect the Files view to be a flat list with no nesting of topics/files that are included in the review.

Thanks!

Daniel

Hello,

To obtain a flat list of files in the review task shown in this demo video, you need to manually remove the "toc.ditamap" DITA map (by clicking the X icon to remove it), as it is automatically added as the context map (Note that certain resources cannot be resolved in this case, such as key definitions, profiling attributes, and other related DITA features).

In any case, we have registered two feature requests: CF-4383 – to display files in the task as a flat list even if the context map is included in the task to avoid confusion, and CF-4384 – to display the exact file hierarchy in the task according to the structure in the context map, regardless of their depth. Depending on the feedback received from other clients as well, we will prioritize them for implementation

Best,
Cosmin

Thank you Cosmin!

I'll pass this back to my team. Thank you for also registering those internal tickets.
