Clear variant management
Variant management via assigned metadata
By defining metadata, you create the required properties and their values. You can apply these at the points in your publication where you require different variants in addition to the basic content. You can assign the metadata to different levels, e.g.:
- Document level
- Module level
- Paragraph level
- Word level
The metadata can also be applied to graphics, media and other objects. In addition, you have the opportunity of Inserting variables that are not filled with values until the media production stage.
You have an overview on the screen of all variants that exist for a specific piece of information. So you do not have to open or display any other modules in order to view other variants. Information that does not differ between the variants (e.g. your product variants) exists in only one instance and not redundantly.
Variant management for the filtering during media production
To publish your document, select the required properties and values.
The SMC then automatically filters all content and you receive the variant of your publication that you require:Filterung.
Additional information:
The method of working with metadata needs to be well planned. In collaboration with our customers, for example, we conduct modularisation workshops and help with the introduction and application of metadata. For further information visit: NEU Workshop Modularisierung
