How to Profile DITA Content

  1. Open the Preferences dialog box, go to Editor > Edit modes > Author > Profiling / Conditional Text, and edit the Profiling Attributes table.
    Note that this table will be ignored if a Subject Scheme Map is in use.
  2. For DITA documents, there are already default entries for audience, platform, product, otherprops and rev. You can customize the attributes and their values.
    This is a one-time operation. Once you save the customized attributes and values, you can use them to profile any DITA project.
  3. To use the profiling attributes set in the previous step, do one of the following:
    1. Right-click (Command Click on OS X) a topic reference in DITA Maps Manager and choose Edit Profiling Attributes from the contextual menu.
    2. In the Author editing mode, right-click (Command Click on OS X) an XML element and choose Edit Profiling Attributes from the contextual menu.
    3. Use the Attributes view to set profiling attributes.
    Enable the Show Profiling Attributes option to display the profiling markup in the Author editing mode.
