The projectdoc Toolbox provides a number of standard categories that are supported by all doctypes.

Each document instance of these types provide a section named 'Documents' that lists all documents associated with a given category.

Typically all doctypes provide a property named 'Type' to reference an instance of a doctype type document. These types are doctype-specific. That is in contrast to the standard categories shown above that are provided by all doctypes, these doctype-specific types are only supported by a single doctype.

Type doctypes typically also provide a section named 'Documents' to list documents of the given type.

All doctypes can be used to categorize documents. The use of Role or Experience Level may seem more natural to categorize documents than Resource or Stakeholder. But ist it basically depends on the information model which categories make sense and which do not.

While the section for type doctypes is rendered per default, space index documents to list documents with a given set of categories need to be created manually.

This example lists all documents with the subject projectdoc and the Todo Type named 'Release'.

The Subject is set to projectdoc, the Todo Type Constraint references the Release document of type Todo Type.

For this case we require to list all upcoming and previous releases.

The only difference is the NOT instead of an AND for listing upcoming releases instead of those that have already been accomplished.

$<Subject> = °${Subject}° AND $<Type>=°${Todo Type Constraint}° NOT $<Iteration>~[finished, production, released, deprecated]

$<Subject> = °${Subject}° AND $<Type>=°${Todo Type Constraint}° AND $<Iteration>~[finished, production, released, deprecated]

The part to select documents of the given subject and todo type is quite straight forward. Note the degree sign indicating that not only documents with the given subject and todo type are requested, but also all documents tagged with one of their child subjects and child todo types.

The latest type doctypes support rendering related indices. This is a section with a Display Table Macro to list all Space Index documents that declare using that type as a constraint.

The Where clause for the Display Table Macro looks like this:

$<Todo Type Constraint>=[${Name}]

Therefore the macro lists all documents that reference it by the property Todo Type Constraint. This naming convention uses the name of the type (Todo Type in the example) and append the suffix ' Constraint'.

Here is an example of the rendered section of a Todo Type named 'Release'.

Doctypes for documents that do not document types this special feature is not supported per default. Therefore authors who need to render a link to the space index document have to add this manually.

Add a link manually, either in the Resources section or as an additional property.

Alternatively add a section to related indices and add a Display Table Macro with a Where clause to select on space index documents that list document of this type (just like the section type documents provide per default).
