Attribute Setup

Prerequisites: Users must have CMS administrator permissions to access Fonto Configuration settings.

In Fonto Configuration settings, you can specify which values will be available for users to apply to conditional processing attributes, including @audience, @product, and @platform. This configuration will limit the options users can choose from when they add values for these attributes in the Attributes sidebar pane of the Fonto Editor.

Fonto default conditional processing attributes and values include:

AttributeValues
@audiencestudent, teacher
@productlaptop, desktop
@platformwindows, mac
Note
To limit the value options available to users for other attributes outside this list, contact Ingeniux Support.
To configure conditional processing attributes values available to users in Fonto:
  1. Navigate to Fonto Configuration settings for your CMS instance by appending the following string to the end of your CMS instance URL in a web browser address bar:
    Fonto configuration settings path
    /IGXFontoEditor/Home/Config

    For example, your URL will look similar to this:

    https://mycms.com/IGXFontoEditor/Home/Config

    The Fonto Configuration settings include fields to modify conditional processing Attributes and their corresponding Values in the Attributes Configuration area. Fonto provides set values for @audience, @product, and @platform by default. In the Attributes list, each field represents an attribute, and, in the Values list, each field represents an attribute value.
  2. Change, add, or remove the values of each attribute to suit your organization's needs and preferences:
    Important
    Do not add invalid characters (e.g., brackets, ampersands) to attribute Value fields.
    • To change an existing value, place your cursor in one of the existing fields, then edit the value.
    • To add a value, place your cursor in an empty field, then enter the new value. To add more than one new value, click Save to make a new empty field display.
    • To remove a value, place your cursor in the value field you want to remove. Press CTRL > a to select everything in the field, then delete the value text.

      When you click the Save button, the field will no longer display.

  3. Optional: You can change, add, or remove attribute names in addition to attribute values. To add and configure an attribute name, follow these steps:
    1. Enter the attribute name in the empty field directly above the Save button.
    2. Click Save.
      The new attribute name will display in the Attribute list with a corresponding Value field.
    3. For this attribute name, add the values you want to list as available options for users.
    Troubleshooting
    If you configure attributes other than the default ones, the Fonto Editor will not reflect your changes. Users will still have the ability to enter any value for the attribute. To carry over your configurations, contact Ingeniux Support for assistance.
  4. Click Save in the bottom-left corner of the Attributes Configuration area to confirm your changes.

Next Steps:

Verify the appropriate value options display as available for each attribute. You can do so by completing the following steps:

  1. Navigate to a DITA asset in the CMS, then open the DITA Authoring tab.
  2. In the editor, place your cursor in an element, such as a <p> tag, then click the Attributes sidebar tab.
  3. Scroll to the desired attribute (e.g., @audience).
  4. Click Add, then click the list button List Button.

    Add Attribute Value

    A dialog will display, providing the list of available attribute value options you configured.
