Sample TOC 3
— All elements are in-channel and included in page numbering.
— Document A.docx is not ready to publish with a planned page count of 8.
— Document AAA.docx is ready to publish.
TOC Entries that Target Native Leafs and Descendents
A native leaf is a leaf with the Use Native File attribute set to YES. Because the output file of native leafs may be of any file type, Native leafs require special handling.
The following rules apply for native files:
— The page number for the first page is used for any page in a native leaf document. Page numbers and totals are always calculated using the Planned Number of Pages for native leaf documents. If you have not indicated a Planned Number of Pages for a native leaf document, one page will be used. Native leaf documents follow the usual rules of page numbering. If you do not want native leaf pages to be added to the page numbers and totals, set Include in page numbering to NO. If you do not want the native leaf document to affect the paper channel page numbers, remove it from the paper output channel.
— The PDF link for a link, TOC entry, or bookmark in published PDF output that targets a page in a native leaf appears as a Launch link. The targeted native leaf file is opened in its associated application. Because of this, individual pages in the native leaf file cannot be targeted. If Adobe Acrobat® is the default application for PDF files, links targeting pages in native leaf output will navigate to the first page.
Invalid Targeted Assembly Elements
Invalid targeted assembly elements are usually created in error, and are not included in the published assembly. Invalid targeted assembly elements can be caused for several reasons.
Possible reasons for invalid target assembly elements:
— Out-of-channel TOCs and documents (and their extracted bookmarks).
— Extracted bookmarks of documents with new bindings. This situation can occur by creating a TOC tree with extracts, followed by performing a DMS synchronization on the parent document without updating/regenerating/ rendering the TOC.
— Extracted bookmarks out of page range. This situation can occur by creating a TOC tree with extracts, and then limiting the page range of the document to exclude some extracts without updating/regenerating/rendering the
TOC.
— Target elements that have been deleted from the assembly. This situation can occur by creating a TOC tree, and then deleting some of the target elements without updating/regenerating/rendering the TOC.
When a TOC contains entries targeting invalid elements, the right column text for these TOC entries is the Destination Not Found Text. There is no navigable link for these TOC entries.
Tables of Contents
Tables of Contents (TOCs) enable you to find contextual information in a published assembly. The creation of TOCs is dependent on document structure, as each submission document can contain several levels of document structure elements in a familiar hierarchy. For CTD TOCs, the hierarchical structure roughly follows the eCTD hierarchy, but for other publications such as study reports, the structure may differ.
You can treat TOCs as additional assigned documents in the repository that are not part of the lifecycle or content, but are needed during electronic and paper publishing. These TOC documents can be generated into .docx format for use and modification in Microsoft Word or other word processing applications. Normal rendering processes can create final TOC documents in the publishing output file format.
When you insert a TOC into an assembly the default TOC type is used automatically, or you can choose an alternate TOC type. You specify the default TOC settings in the Publishing Settings Library Templates, and a default TOC is required. In the publishing settings, you may create an association between different TOC types and assembly elements or locations. This association is called mapping.
When publishing tables of contents that include a range to which all content has not yet been assigned, TOC entries that cannot be targeted. For example, when no content yet exists under the leaf, TOC entries are stamped with the Destination Not Found Text from the Publishing Settings. Once the content is assigned to the leaf, the TOC entry stamp correctly resolves to the destination.
If you are defining (mapping) a TOC for volumes, when you insert a TOC on a volume the TOC type associated (mapped) with a volume may be inserted automatically. As long as the TOC types are defined correctly for the appropriate elements before bulk insertion, little editing of the assembly is necessary to generate valid TOCs.
When you generate a TOC, a Word document is created from the information about the TOC in Ennov InSight . The TOC is combined with the style and format specified in the TOC template. The TOC is then rendered to a PDF and the right-column text and hyperlink is resolved during final publishing. There are various ways to create a TOC, for example:
— Generate the TOC from the default range directly to a PDF during final publish; this is best suited for volume
TOCs.
— Edit the TOC in the TOC editor, then generate the TOC from the TOC editor directly to a PDF during the final publishing.
— Generate the TOC from the default range to the Word document preview, edit the preview, then publish the Word document to a PDF during final publishing; this is best suited to submission TOCs.
— Edit the TOC in the TOC editor, generate the TOC from the TOC editor to a Word document preview, edit the preview, and then publish the Word document to a PDF during final publishing; this is best suited to a submission TOC.
Generated TOCs are saved to the preview location specified in the TOC publishing settings.
When you preview a generated TOC, the system makes a copy of the TOC in a temporary location (regardless of the defined preview location) and displays that copy for preview. Any changes you make to the previewed TOC are made on the temporary copy only, and are not made on the actual TOC that will be published.
Note: In some desktop configurations you may have to save the TOC to a local file and open the local file to view the TOC.
Insert a TOC
You can insert a TOC in an element for the contents of the element.
When adding a TOC to a tree element, the TOC name inherits the name of the element on which it was placed. This name is used to create the file name of the generated TOC.
Note: If a TOC is placed on an element that includes a special character in its name (/ \ : * ? < > |), you must edit and update the TOC name so that it does not include special characters, otherwise it will not generate.
To insert a TOC:
- In the assembly, right-click the element where you want to insert the TOC and choose Mass Insert/Update Publishing Elements.
- In the Mass Insert/Update Elements window, select Table of Contents.
- Select one or more elements where you want to insert a TOC:
Option Description For this Element: Inserts a TOC for the selected assembly element. Volumes: Inserts a TOC for each volume in the assembly. Folders: Inserts a TOC for each folder in the assembly. Leaf Elements: Inserts a TOC for each leaf element in the assembly. Documents: Inserts a TOC for each assigned document and document placeholder in the assembly. Page Markers: Inserts a TOC for each volume break in assigned documents. - In the Publishing Setting list, leave the Use Default setting, or choose an alternative TOC setting (if other TOC settings have been created in the PLT).
- To set the Range Start option, select Entity and click Browse to specify the location in the Current Assembly to start the range of the new TOC.
- Click Insert.
A message prompts you to confirm the insertion.
- Click OK.
For each element where a TOC has been inserted, the TOC icon appears in the assembly tree.
