Configure Navigation topics

For each Interface View configured, you can control which topics appear in Navigation when a user selects the View. For example, you might create a tech writer view, and decide that users invoking it only need to see the Work Items and Documents and Pages topics in addition to the Home and project and user Shortcuts topics.

1. Open the repository or project you want to configure and enter Administration.

2. In Navigation, expand Portal and select Topics. The Topics page loads.

3. If you want to create a new configuration, click the Create New Topics Configuration button. In the dialog box, select the Interface View you want to configure.

   If you want to modify an existing configuration, click the Edit button on the row of the configuration you want to modify.

   In both the above cases, an online XML editor appears with the XML code of the selected configuration.

4. In the online XML editor, comment out or remove elements in the <topics> element which correspond to the Navigation topics you want to hide, leaving only the elements for the topics to show. For example, your configuration for the previously mentioned Tech Writer View might be something like the following:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
   <topics xmlns="http://polarion.com/schema/Portal/Topics" 
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://polarion.com/schema/Portal/Topics">
       <topic id="home"/>
       <topic id="wiki"/>
       <topic id="workitems"/>
       <topic id="project_shortcuts"/>
       <topic id="user_shortcuts"/>
   </topics>

5. Save the changes to the file.
