Change DITA 1.3 Mappings

When adding customized template to new applications, the DITA mappings file must be changed to make the new templates available for your technical authors.

Edit the EDDs, templates and application definitions. It is recommended to have the structapps.fm file open, so that you can double-check the spelling of your new structured applications.

Changing the mappings of topic types to structured applications is done in the DITA Application Mappings Manager dialog.

1. Open the DITA Applications Mappings Manager.

   Choose DITA > DITA Options.

2. Click Application Mappings.

3. Select the Mapping Tag.

   The application mapping that is selected in the DITA Options dialog determines which doctypes are available in the DITAmenu.

4. Select the doctype that you want to remap.

   Click on the doctype you want to change. Then click on Edit in the top of the dialog. This shows the mapping tag and its type. Click OK to load the doctype definition in the editable fields of the dialog.

5. Make changes as required.

   Change the Application name to point to the new structured application.

6. Click Add/Edit to save changes.

7. After making all required changes, close the dialogs.

After Completing This Task:

Restart FrameMaker. This allows the application to reload the mappings, recreate the menus and load the changed structured applications.
