For modular documentation it is important to wrap pieces of information in a cohesive and coherent way. Keep information that belongs together at one place and make it identifiable with clear boundaries to other pieces of information. One use case in IT service management (ITSM). To define services or systems you may need to define configuration options. These options could be implemented as properties on the projectdoc document for a specific service or system. But this has two drawbacks: - The configuration options are intermingled with other service/system properties, like service level agreement (SLA) information
- The configuration options cannot be referenced by themselves
To provide a solution for use cases where changes to properties of one document is automatically updating importing documents, the new Document Properties Supplier From Documents Macro has been added. This macro allows to define a configuration document for the ITSM use case and to imports theses properties to a service or system. Changes to the configuration are automatically updating the service or system document. This tip shows how to do this. |
