Update map elements

When you're working in the Oxygen XML Editor, you can to edit map elements.

The Edit map button is disabled from a subject scheme map or classification map.

To update map elements:

  1. Click Components.
  2. In the Folders pane, navigate to the folder where the map you want to update exists.
  3. Right-click the map topic and then select Edit...
  4. To the left of the editing pane, use the open slider button to open the Outline panel if it's not already open.
  5. In the Outline panel, select the element whose attributes you want to update.
  6. To the right of the editing pan, open the Attributes panel using the slider button if it's not already open.
  7. On the Attributes panel, in Attribute, click the click the row that contains the attribute you want to edit.

    You may or may not see element IDs. An administrator can configure an element to never be assigned an ID.

    For example, if a Ditabase component is created or imported into Inspire, normally an ID is automatically added to the root level <Dita>. For Ditabase, this ID makes the component invalid when opened in the XML editor because ID is not allowed on a Dita component.

    If an element is configured to not use IDs:

    • When content is imported, no ID is generated
    • In the Oxygen editor, no ID is generated when the Generate IDs or Save and Submit options are used
    • This behavior is enforced even if the automaticIds option is turned on
  8. In Value, enter or select content for the specific attribute, and then click Accept.
  9. Repeat steps 5-9 to change more attribute values.
  10. To save your changes and close the map, in the toolbar, click the Save and Submit icon .
