6.10.4.  Case differentiation concerning project visibility in end media

A project's visibility does not only result from one single factor, but form the interaction of several.

In order to hide certain projects in end media there are different options:

  • Context menu command Hide project

    -> The font appears in red.

  • Context menu command Publishing [Publication] -> Remove publishing marker [Remove publication mark]

    -> The icon with gray globe is displayed.

With the help of following points the interaction shall be clarified.

  • Publication mark removed ()

    Projects with removed publication mark (display of gray globe ) are always hidden in end media (independently of their QA status). (This does not concern the local state; a setting on "hidden" just happens during the cip generation.)

    This especially applies for projects with QA status 1 to 4, because for these status the publication mark cannot be set at all (so display of gray globe ).

  • Project visible (black font) + Publication marker set ()

  • Project hidden (red font) + publication marker set ()

    Hidden projects are always invisible in end media, even if the publication mark ( = green globe ) is set.

  • Project in a hidden folder (red font)

  • Link projects

    Link projects are used, for example, to access one and the same original project with different table filters. (Details on this can be found under Section 5.8.2.1.3, “ New link ” -> Table restriction [Restricted display] ) The original project is (usually) hidden (red font).

    [Note]Note

    Link projects inherit the status of the publication mark by the original project.

    Example 1:

    Original project hidden (red font), link project visible (black font)

    Example 2:

    Original project (black font) in hidden folder ( red font) (which means it is also hidden), link project visible (black font)

    Example 3:

    Original project hidden (red font), link project not visible (although not hidden = black font), as its parent directory is hidden (red font)

    Example 4:

    Original project and link project not visible (although not hidden = black font), because their parent directories are hidden (red font)

[Note]Note

For a better understanding what will really appear in end media, it is also important to know further contexts in regard to publication and partial publication.

See Section 6.10.5, “ Generate QA status.. | Publish live stand.. ” and Section 6.10.6, “Partial Publication ”.
