Use the Manage Aliases tab in DITA Map Manager to view and manage aliases for the map.

Alias List

The Manage Aliases tab lists all aliases for the map. A single map can have mutliple aliases. For example, if the map is part of multiple DITA collections with separate alias structures in the Site Tree, the map will have multiple aliases.

Alias list information includes:

Name

Name of the alias. Clicking the name expands the Site Tree pane and automatically selects the corresponding alias in the tree.

Path

Path to the alias in the Site Tree. Clicking any name in the path expands the Site Tree pane and automatically selects the corresponding item in the tree.

Note

Underlined items are pages, components, or folders in the path. Items without underlining are aliases.

Examine Map

Click the View Alias Structure button to open a dialog that displays the hierarchical alias structure, starting from the current alias. This dialog mirrors the structure of the referencing DITA map, but only displays the current alias and its descendants in the map hierarchy. The current alias always displays as the top-level item in this dialog.

Delete

Click the Delete Alias button to permanently delete the alias and the associated alias structure from the Site Tree. This button is only active for root-level aliases in a DITA alias structure. The CMS prevents deletion of aliases with parent aliases in the Site Tree.

Warning

This action deletes the entire alias structure.

Toolbar

Actions

CMS 10.6.492 Version Filter

The CMS 10.6.492Manage Aliases tab provides a drop-down menu to filter aliases based on the latest checked-in version or a version marked for a publishing target.

Aliases display in the Site Tree based on the selected publishing target. If an alias does not display in the Site Tree, verify the following:

• The Site Tree publishing target drop-down has the correct target selected.
• The alias displays in the map's Manage Aliases list for the appropriate publishing target version.

See CMS DITA Versioning Functionality for more details about DITA versioning.

Search

Use the Search Aliases field to search for aliases based on the name or path in the Manage Aliases list.

Examine Map Dialog

Click the the View Alias Structure button in the Examine Map column to view the structure associated with an alias. This dialog shows a composite view of the alias structure in a TOC-like format from the parent DITA map, reflecting the alias structure generated in the Site Tree.

This view shows only the structure starting from the current alias, not the entire alias structure. To view the complete alias structure from the top-level map or submap, open this dialog from that map.

This dialog displays alias hierarchy and indicates the status of each aliased DITA item from the Assets Manager. Key data types include:

Icon	Data Type	Description
	Content Title	If active, this icon indicates the aliased DITA asset has a <title> value. Hover over the active icon to see the file name of the aliased DITA item. If inactive (dimmed), this icon indicates no <title> value is present.
	Checked In	If active, this icon indicates the aliased DITA asset is checked in. If inactive, this icon indicates the item is checked out.
	Total Marked Publishing Targets	If active, this icon indicates the aliased item is marked for publish to at least one publishing target. The number indicates the total publish markings. Hover over the icon to see the marked publishing targets for the content item.
	Assigned to Me	If active, this icon indicates the aliased DITA asset is assigned to you. Hover over the icon to see the assigned user.
	Assigned to Group	If active, this icon indicates the aliased DITA asset is assigned to a group. Hover over the icon to see the assigned group.
	Deleted	If active, this icon indicates the aliased DITA asset is in the Asset Manager Recycle Folder.
