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.

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.

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.

Specify profile information to display

Type

Specify in which profile file to look for the profile member(s) to display. If the specified profile doesn’t exit, File-AID/RDX attempts to create the profile file.

SITE identifies the installation wide profile file.

USER identifies your own profile file (your userid). When you enter USER your userid displays to indicate your USER profile type.

prefix identifies a profile file with the specified high level qualifier (up to 26 positions). Entering a prefix that includes the string &USERID will substitute the current userid when the profile file is allocated. The prefix must not include the midlevel qualifier.

Example: prefix FDM.&USERID allocates FDM.userid.RDX.PROFILE

Dataset

Displays the full name of the physical profile data set including the prefix and midlevel qualifier for the profile. The midlevel qualifier (product parameter variable RDXPMDQL) is specified during configuration of File-AID/RDX.

Description

Text can be used to provide a more detailed description of the profile’s content or purpose. Description can be entered when copying or renaming a profile.

Line Commands

Important

If your installation has restricted your access authorization to the SITE or prefix profile file, the copy attempt to that profile may fail.
