Use this procedure to insert a topichead to a DITA map.
When you add objects to maps or bookmaps, the icons next to some elements have red bar through them. Icons with a red bar indicates that the element is not directly referencing any objects. For example, topichead elements always have a red bar because they contain titles and never reference objects. Conversely, chapters that directly reference a map or topic do not have a red line.
  1. Open the publication in Publication Manager.
  2. Expand the map to which you want to add the topichead.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To add an object before an existing object, right-click the existing object, and then click Insert before.
    • To add an object as a child of an existing topic, right-click the parent topic, and then click Add within.
  4. Select Topic Head.
    STEP RESULT:
    When you select Topic Head, the map is automatically checked out.
  5. In the Insert Values dialog box, , type the title that must appear in the output in the Navigation title field, and then click OK.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Provide complete navigation titles, such as Change history and Optimization and scalability. Titles such as Change history_SM_Dep and Optm & Scal are incorrect and cannot be translated.
  6. Check in the map when you finish editing it.
