Note: The procedures and attributes for each PLT tab are described in the corresponding topics and can be applied to both the Publishing Settings Library Templates (PLT) and the Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL).
4. On each tab: click Create or Edit, add or modify the settings, and Save.
Create Publishing Settings
In the selected Publishing Settings Library, you can create or modify the Publishing Settings to adjust printer output settings and XML definitions.
This procedure applies to both the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL).
- On the Publishing Settings Library window, select Publishing Settings .
- Click Create:
. - On the Create Publishing Settings page, use the
drop-down lists to choose the following required settings:
— Printer
— Paper Size and Type
— Tab Paper Size and Type
— Preview Location (Click Browse to locate and select the location.)

— XML Definitions
— Default Rendition Identifier
— Missing Rendition Identifier Handling
— TOC Destination Not Found Text
— Cross-Reference Destination Not Found Text
— Expand Bookmarks to Level
— PDF Version for Published Output
— Optimize Fonts in Paper Output
Note: Ennov InSight includes functionality to specify the rendition identifier to allow for a non-default Documentum or
Veeva rendition to be used for publishing jobs. This value can be set in Publishing Settings Library Templates (PLT) and
Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Libraries (APL). On the Publishing Settings tab, the option Default Rendition Identifier lists the values configured using the DMS Integration Rendition Identifier Values in Data Administration. See Maintaining a DMS Integration Value.
5. To save the new Publishing Settings, Save. To discard the changes, Cancel.
XML Definition File Version Updates
If the XML Definitions are set to a different XML definition than was previously used for the assembly, the system will initiate a renaming process when you save the file and the new XML Definition File is applied.
- After the new XML Definition File is applied, refresh the
assembly tree.
Applying the new XML Definition File updates the assembly according to the new specification:
— Values in extended attributes
— Folder names
— Leaf names. Abbreviated Name, Title, and Output File attributes are updated for leafs within a working assembly.
- Check the following attributes of the leaf created as a result of any life cycle operation, and update if necessary:
— Abbreviated Name
— Title
— Output File
The Create eCTD Wizard can now be used for the Sequence. After the new XML definition file is applied, the changes within the current assembly cannot be rolled back. If it is necessary to roll back the changes, the working assembly must be deleted and recreated.
Publishing Settings Attributes
The attributes describe the details of the publishing settings used in a Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT). Required information is indicated by an asterisk (*).
| Attribute | Description |
|
Cross-Reference Destination Not Found Text |
Specify the text to insert when Ennov InSight attempts to insert a margin crossreference but cannot resolve the variable. If blank, no margin cross-reference is created for links that cannot be resolved. |
| Default Rendition Identifier |
Specify the default rendition identifier for the document. The default is Use Standard Rendition. |
|
Expand Bookmarks To Level |
Specify the number of levels to which bookmarks are expanded on the initial opening of electronic (PDF) files published from Ennov InSight . You can choose to expand bookmarks from 1 to 20 levels, or expand ALL bookmarks, when the published PDF files are opened. The expansion of bookmarks applies to all Publish to eCTD/Electronic options except XML only. |
|
Missing Rendition Identifier Handling |
Specify the rendition identifier to use when none is assigned to a document, or if the assigned rendition identifier does not exist in the system. The default is Use Standard Rendition. |
| Optimize Fonts in Paper Output | Minimizes the font compatibility issues and provides stability to the process of printing the paper output. The default value is No. |
| Paper Size/Type* | Select the paper size to use for publishing (Letter, A4, Color A4, Drilled A4, etc.). This list is dependent on the available printers. |
| PDF Version for Published Output | Select the PDF version for your published output. The default PDF version is 1.4, Acrobat 5. Optional values are: 1.3, Acrobat 4; 1.4, Acrobat 5; 1.5, Acrobat 6; 1.6, Acrobat 7; 1.7, Acrobat 8. |
| Preview Location* |
The storage location, used for tab preview locations and Microsoft Wordgenerated TOC files. — Tab preview files are not used in the final publication. — Periods and decimals cannot be used in the folder name. |
| Printer* | Select the printer that will be used for the paper publish. The selected printer defines the values available for the Paper Size/Type for Tabs, Cover Pages and Slip Sheets. |
| Tab Paper Size/ Type* | The Type and Size of the paper that will be used for the Tab when printed (e.g. Blue Letter). This list is dependent on the available printers. |
| Attribute | Description |
| TOC Destination Not Found Text | Specify the text that appears in TOCs when a TOC Entry cannot be resolved at publishing time. Destination Not Found Text is used in TOC right-columns where the target does not exist. This attribute is blank by default, but text may be entered to assist in the QC of invalid destinations or variables. |
| XML Definitions | Select XML definitions that are applicable to the Publishing Library and to the Assembly that uses the Publishing Library. This field cannot be updated if the assembly is in the Publishing view and already added to life cycle. |
XML Definition File Publishing Settings
The XML Definitions settings determine the specification that is used for publishing your eCTD submission.
The XML (eXtensible Mark-up Language) DTD (document type definition) files indicate which specification your eCTD submission should use for publishing. These files are generally associated with a specific assembly template, but submissions based on earlier versions of the specification may be updated to newer specifications by selecting the latest definition file in the Publishing Settings of the active working assembly. These files are placed in a repository that is accessible to Ennov InSight , and new ones may be added to this location as a result of a new agency or ICH (International Conference on Harmonisation) specification.
For eCTD, you typically select a regional DTD, the standard ICH DTD, and the STF (Study Tagging File) DTD. The STF DTD can be activated even if STFs are not being created, as this enables global reuse by allowing you to specify how Study folders should be processed in the XML at the module-level.
Only one DTD file for each output XML file can be assigned in the DTD settings. If more than one is assigned, an error may occur during publishing (fixpoint error). Multiple DTDs are assigned if multiple XML files are generated, for example: ICH index.xml, regional.xml, and possibly stf.xml.
Update eCTD XML Definition File Selections
When XML definition settings are updated, Ennov InSight prompts you to verify that you want to make the change. If you agree to the change, Ennov InSight automatically changes the folder and leaf types throughout the assembly to the proper versions.
In some cases, metadata is removed if it is no longer needed by the new specification XML definition. In most cases, Ennov InSight only adds new attributes or changes the labels or selections of existing attributes. If new sections are required by the new XML definition specification, it may be recommended to add these attributes separately using the Create eCTD wizard.
In every case it is a best practice to run the Create eCTD wizard immediately after updating the XML specifications.
For EU specifications, keep in mind the following:
— When you include the electronic application form in EU module 1, section 1.2, ensure the form-1-1 rules are active in the publication settings to ensure the DTD and stylesheet are copied to the appropriate location during publishing.
— If you are using v1.1 of the EU specifications, and submitting PIM information in section 1.3.1, you also need to ensure the pim-2-1 rules are active to ensure the supportive files are correctly output.
— When you are using the v1.2.1 specification or later, these rules should not be active since the PIM information is provided as a single .zip file.
eCTD Publishing Settings
Specifying the general electronic eCTD publishing settings enables the entire eCTD assembly to inherit leaf element and study folder attributes. These settings contribute to default values for leaf elements in the eCTD XML files, and the default properties for study tagging or other study XML files.
The eCTD publishing settings are applicable to both the Default Values and the Default Study Folder in the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and the Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL).
Generally, these settings are used to either:
— Set up a global value for an XML attribute that generally will not change, for example: the font library.
— Inherit this information from attributes that are already stored in your document repository. An administrator must have already configured repository variables (in Data Administration) so Ennov InSight can find the metadata, and placed these variables in the attributes on the settings page.
Any attributes defined on a particular leaf use the assigned values. Ennov InSight inherits only values from these settings if the value has been left blank on the element itself.
Modify Default Publishing Values
In the selected Publishing Settings Library, you can modify the default publishing values.
This procedure applies to both the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL). To modify the default publishing values:

About PDF Properties
You can add PDF Property settings to the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and to the Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL) to define the PDF properties of the electronic published output.
In addition to the PLT and APL PDF property settings, Ennov InSight enables you to create leaf-specific PDF property settings:
— While the APL and PLT PDF property settings are defined for the whole assembly, leaf PDF property settings are defined for an individual leaf element only.
— When importing or exporting an assembly, only APL PDF property settings are preserved. Any leaf-specific PDF property settings are automatically removed.
— Leaf PDF property settings are preserved in the duplicated leaf or folder.
— Adding or modifying leaf PDF property settings in the working assembly updates both working and publishing views.
— To use a specific property from the source document, set the PDF Property Source attribute to Use Source Document Property.
— If at least one PDF Property is defined, the submit.document.properties=true parameter in the insight.var is ignored.
Note: Due to the additional information that is processed when using PDF Properties, the time needed to complete publishing can be increased.
Leaf PDF properties are not available in:
— Approved, submitted, and sequence views.
— Publishing view of a locked assembly.
Add or Modify PDF Properties
PDF Properties are used to define the PDF properties of the electronic published output document.
In the selected Publishing Settings Library, you can add or modify the PDF Property settings. This procedure applies to both the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL). You must have sufficient security permissions to be able to create or modify a PDF Property setting.

Values available for selection are all active values from the Data Administration > PDF Properties section, where Source Property is set to Yes. The following default values are available for selection: — Author — Keywords — Title — Subject This field appears and is required only when PDF Property Source is set to Use Source Document Property. |
| Attribute | Description |
| Separator |
User defined separator to distinguish values from individual documents within a leaf. To support the use of spaces and newline breaks, the following text patterns must be used: — //space - Space character will be inserted as a separator — //newline - New line will be started. The effect of the new line break will be visible from the PDF viewer for multi-line fields only. This field does not appear when PDF Property Source is set to Define Single Value. |
| Value | Defines the value for the PDF Property in the output document. This field appears and is required only when PDF Property Source is set to Define Single Value or Define Repeatable Value. |
Volumize
Volumization is the process by which assembly content is divided into multiple volumes for the purpose of publishing paper volumes. You can define the settings for splitting the assembly into volumes using the volume settings.
Volumization settings include:
— The number of pages that make up the volume.
— The size of the page buffer, which indicates the number of pages under the specified volume pages that would still be considered as a valid volume size. — The total size of each volume.
— The buffer size of each volume, which indicates the number of MB under the specified volume total size that would still be considered as a valid volume size.
— Whether to automatically create volume TOCs for each volume.
— The name and numbering schema for each volume (specified by default as the variable $VOLNAME). — Whether volumes should be counted relative to the assembly or the major division (module).
Volume settings are included in a Publishing Settings Library by default. When creating a new Publishing Library Template (PLT), or when creating a new PLT based on an existing PLT, the Begin at Volume Number setting is set to 1.
You can start a volumization from the start of an assembly, a subset folder, or a section in the assembly. Volumization will end when either a locked volume is encountered or the end of the assembly is reached.
Volumization may take a significant amount of time to accomplish, so the recommended way to volumize is by using the Prepare to Publish process.
Positioning your cursor over a volume indicates the number of current pages, but in certain cases it may be necessary to refresh the volume page count. This can be done with either the volumes refresh option or the Prepare to Publish process.
During volumization, the assembly is not locked. You must wait for volumization to complete before attempting to select any elements.
Ennov InSight provides the ability to create volumes in an assembly based on an estimated output file size.
Because Volumize by Size can be a time-consuming process, Ennov recommends completing all assembly creation steps (including Prepare to Publish) prior to invoking this functionality. An assembly paper output location is required when using the Volumize by Size option. There is a limitation of assembly content size that can be processed at once, so it is recommended to use Volumize by Size option in a reasonable time periods. See Memory Limits for Windows and Windows Server Releases.
For Volumize by Size, using the No option causes Volumize by Page to be enforced when the right-click menu option Volumize is invoked in the assembly. Volumize by Page provides faster performance than Volumize by Size.
When the Volumize by Size option is set to Yes, all volumes will be deleted and recreated, including locked volumes.
Use the Volumes tab in the Publishing Settings Library to set or modify the following options:
— Volumize by Size
— Total Size (in MB)
— Buffer Size (in MB)
Note: 1MB = 1,048,576 bytes
Volumes also enable you to divide an assembly into logical sections that will be published to the paper output channel as separate files, one file for each volume.
If you choose to divide your assembly into paper volumes, you can create volumes in several ways: — Bulk volumization
— Insert manual volumes
— Insert and manipulate existing volumes
Volume settings must be defined in the Publishing Settings Library prior to inserting volumes.
Define or Modify Volume Settings
Use the Modify Publishing Settings command to modify volume attributes for your assembly.
- In an assembly view, click Edit Publishing Settings Library
to open the Publishing
Settings. - Select Volumes.
- On the Volumes tab, click Edit to specify the Volume attribute settings.
- Save.
Volumes
In the selected Publishing Settings Library, you can modify the Volumes settings. This procedure applies to both the Publishing Settings Library Template (PLT) and Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Library (APL).
To modify the Volumes settings:
- On the Publishing Settings Library window, select Volumes. The default Volumes settings appear.
- Click Edit

Volume Attributes
You can use the attributes to describe the details of a volume. Required information is indicated by an asterisk (*).
| Attribute | Description |
|
Automatically Create Volume Tables of Contents |
Controls whether TOCs are created automatically and assigned to each volume. Choose Yes or No. Default is No. |
| Note: When automatically creating the table of contents for volumes using Prepare to Publish or Volumize, Ennov InSight may misname the table of contents. An incorrectly generated table of contents results if the $TITLE variable is used in the header or left column entry text. If file bookmarks are used in volumes with automatically generated tables of contents, a bookmark for the table contents is named New TOC. The bookmarks do not affect the printed output. To work around this issue: set Automatically Create Volume Tables of Contents to No on the Volumes page in Publishing Settings. After volumizing, create tables of contents on the newly created volumes by right-clicking on any element in the tree and selecting Mass Insert/Update Publishing Elements, selecting Table of Contents in the drop-down, and then selecting Volumes, and set Use Default for the type. You can also create tables of contents for individual volumes by selecting This Element Only. | |
|
Begin at Volume Number* |
Specify the number where you want your volume to begin. Must be a number greater than 0. Default is 1. |
| Buffer Size (in MB)* | Defines the additional buffer size allowed in a volume when running volumize by size. Must be a number, 10 or greater. Default is 10. |
| Total Sheets/ Pages* | Specify the total number of sheets or pages that make up your volume when running volumize by number of pages. Must be a number greater than 0. Default is 300. |
| Total Sheets/Pages Buffer* | The number of sheets or pages, plus or minus, that Ennov InSight uses to calculate logical volume breaks during bulk volume creation when running volumize by number of pages. The Total Sheets/Pages Buffer setting should always be less than the Total Sheets/Pages setting. Must be a number. Default is 50. |
| Total Size (in MB)* | Defines the maximum size of the volume when running volumize by size. Must be a number greater than 50. Default is 100. |
|
Volume File Naming Format* |
The default volume naming format that applies to all the volumes in your submission. This is set by default to $VOLNAME, which is a volume-naming variable included with every Ennov InSight installation. This attribute can be set only to a specific variable name, and it cannot contain additional text or variables. If different variable attributes are needed: changes should be made to the $VOLNAME variable in data administration, or you should use a new user-defined variable instead. (Limit 150 bytes) |
| Attribute | Description |
| Volume Numbering | The volume number scheme. Choose Assembly Relative or Major Division. Default is Assembly Relative. |
| Volumize by Size* |
Determines if the volumization will be done by the number of pages in the volume or by the estimated size of the volume. Choose Yes or No. Default is No. For Volumize by Size, using the No option causes Volumize by Page to be enforced when the right-click menu option Volumize is invoked in the assembly. Volumize by Page provides faster performance than Volumize by Size. |
Bulk Volumization
Bulk volumization enables you to divide assembly content into multiple volumes automatically.
Volume publishing settings identify how the assembly is divided into volumes including the default size and other characteristics of the volumes inserted during the bulk volumization process.
Content that has been rendered or has a planned page count, and that is specified for the paper output channel, is volumized. Content that is not intended for the paper channel is not included in volumization calculations.
You can volumize from an assembly root, a folder, or a section in the assembly. Bulk volumization may take a certain amount of time to perform, so the recommended way to volumize is by using Prepare To Publish.
Run a Bulk Volumization
Volumes you insert have a standard naming convention based on the volume publishing settings, which may be variable-based.
