This site will undergo a maintenance outage on Saturday, 13 September beginning at 2:30 AM Central/1 PM IST for a platform upgrade. The downtime will be ~three hours.

Writer instructions

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.

Step 5—Editing the profile defaults in SITE profile RDXMENU


The following figure is displayed when you return after selecting the copied profile in Step 4—Selecting USER Profile SAMPMENU. Now you can modify the profile to fit the following exercises and your site’s specific requirements.

Field Names and Descriptions

For descriptions of the fields on this screen, see Field Names and Descriptions.

Navigation

Some of the panels have a large scrollable area. Be sure to navigate to the bottom of the scrollable area as to not miss any fields. Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll up or down in the panels.

Use the END (PF3) command to save your entries in the current panel and return to the RDX Profile Menu. If flow through mode is active, END proceeds to the next selected profile option panel.

Use the PREV (PF10) and/or NEXT (PF11) commands to navigate to the next or previous panel when in flow through mode.

Enter CANCEL to return to the next higher level panel and discard any changes made in the panel where CANCEL is entered. If you specify ALL in the RDX Profile screen or select multiple subpanels, CANCEL returns to the RDX Profile screen instead of going to the next panel selected, and all changes while in the CANCELed Profile screen will be discarded. Updates made in screens you exited with END will be retained, unless you also enter CANCEL on this RDX Profile screen.

Locking a Profile Value

When you enter the TOGGLE (PF4 with KEYLIST ON) command while your cursor is on an input field, it locks or unlocks the field. A locked profile field prevents you from changing the profile value during an extract, load or delete session.
