Note: Please note that this options are only available for the on-premises users, Cloud users may not find these features while using the Lionbridge AEM Connector.

In the DITA Property Configuration section of the Advanced Settings page, you can configure the Connector to translate/copy or skip DITA property fields of a specific DAM asset.

To configure the translation logic of the DITA property fields:

  1. Click Admin Tools > Advanced Settings in the Lionbridge Connector rail. For information on opening the Lionbridge Connector rail, see Configuring the Connector.

    The Advanced Settings page opens. In the DITA Metadata Configuration section of this page, you can specify the parameters of the metadata fields and the intended logic.

  1. To specify the parameters of the metadata fields and its behavior:

    a. Click Add, in the top-right corner of this section.

    This adds a blank row at the top of the list.

    b. In this row, enter the following information:

Column Description
Title The title of the metadata field.
JCR Property The JCR property of the metadata field, for example: dc:title.
Input Type The type of metadata field.
