Purpose

Use this page to display a banner announcement on each page of the space. Create the Space announcements page in the master space, outside of the Home branch.

You can version the Space announcements page to enable different banners to be published into different target spaces, however, the banner that is displayed in the versioned (master) space itself only displays the most recently-published banner.  If you find errors in the banner area of your versioned space and you are sure the Space announcements page is set up correctly, try publishing the page to the same space.

For more information, see Space-announcements-banners.

Removing

When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Translation

Localized spaces using the L10n Viewport theme must change the name of this page to Space announcements l10n.  See Configuring-the-Scroll-ViewPort-theme-for-translated-spaces.

Usage

Choose one or none of the following BMC Space Banner macros.

If your space requires another kind of announcement, you can use this page in coordination with your team lead and editors.

Information
When should I use a space announcement banner?

Use the space organization announcement after you change the content from a book-like organization (such as User Manual, Configuration Manual, and Administration Guide) to the product model.

Use the latest version announcement to push traffic to later versions. You do not need to add this to every previous version, but if you have a specific reason that you want users to be aware—for example, Google searches show content for an obsolete version—use the banner to help users find a relevant version.

When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Information
Space announcement This documentation space provides the same content as before, but the organization of the content has changed. The content is now organized based on logical branches instead of legacy book titles. We hope that the new structure will help you quickly find the content that you need.

O (Overlay)

The O row command specifies a destination when data is copied or moved. Unlike other targets for moving or copying, the O row command overwrites existing destination data. Use the O row command to overlay data from one row over another.

The source row to be overlaid onto a destination row is specified with one of the following row commands:

  • C (copy)
  • M (move).

The O (overlay) row command overlays data from one source row to another, following these rules:

  • Only blank characters on the destination row are overlaid.
  • Source rows are used repeatedly until all destination rows are processed.
  • Information rows, such as BNDS, MASK, and COLS, are ignored for processing.
  • If an M (move) is specified for the source rows, the source rows are deleted after the move is complete only if all source rows are processed and all data from the source rows can be moved to the destination.
  • Current BNDS settings are observed during overlay.

OO Block Format

Specifies the block of destination rows to be overlaid.
