Description
Subdocuments are associated with the lifetime of the parent document. The section doctype is the most generic type of document, but there are others, that are specific to a certain doctype. The main purpose is to divide the information of one document into smaller pieces that can be handled more easily.
A document of any type may be a subordinate document of another. But the doctypes introduced here have a very close relationship to the parent document. The title, not the name, of the document is extended with the name of the parent document. This makes it easier to create unique titles within the space.
Doctypes
List of document types to define categories valid for all document types.
| # | Name | Short Description | Target Type |
|---|
| 1 | Association | Associates two documents. | |
| 2 | Excerpt | Excerpts are abstracts of information found in a resource, such as a book. If you want to go into more detail for a given resource, there may be multiple excerpts as subpages of the resource document. | |
| 3 | Profile | Profiles provide views on documents via delegation. | |
| 4 | Section | Sections of a document are typically part of a document. But the size of sections may vary. To support a team to write collaboratively on the documentation, a larger document may be subdivided into external section documents. | |
| 5 | Step | Describes a single step of an activity. A step is a generic document that is associated with a document that describes a process. It may be a test log or a howto. | |
