All content is organized in method plug-ins. With method plug-ins
and method packages, you can organize your content at a level of granularity
that meets your needs for authoring and reusing content.
To create method plug-in:
- Make sure that you are in the Authoring
Perspective.
- You can begin the method plug-in creation process in one of three
ways:
- Click .
- In the Library view, right-click an existing plug-in and click New
Method Plug-in.
- Click the Down Arrow of the New icon
in
the toolbar and select Method Plug-in from the drop
down list.
The New Method Plug-in wizard opens. In the first page of the
wizard, select one of the following options:
- In the Name field, type a name for your
new method plug-in and in the Referenced Plug-ins field
select one or more method plug-ins. Using dots in the name of the plug-ins
creates logical packages used for presentation in the Flat and Hierarchical
view, for details see Library view. The
method plug-in that you create references the method plug-ins that you select
from the list and allows you to reuse content from the selected method plug-ins
while you create your own method plug-in content.
- Provide a brief description of the method plug-in and list its
authors to help you and others keep track of the method plug-ins in the library. You can return to edit this information at any time.
- Click Finish. Your new method
plug-in is in the Library View with the other method plug-ins.
