Creating a content package

Method content is organized into content packages that are contained in method plug-ins.

Before creating a content package, you should create a method plug-in.

You should always create a new method content package and method content in a method plug-in that you produce. This separates your content from the original content and allows you to update your own library with new library releases without affecting the content that you have created in your own plug-ins.

Remember: You cannot create a new content package or any other element in a locked plug-in.
  1. Find your method plug-in in the Library view.
  2. Navigate into the plug-in to find Content Packages. This package contains all packages that are can contain method elements.
  3. Right-click the content package and click New > Content Package.
  4. Under General Information, give the new content package a unique name and provide a brief description.
  5. Save the new content package in one of three ways:
    • Click the disk icon in the toolbar.
    • Click File > Save.
    • Close the content editor.
Important: The tool creates nodes for Task, Role, Work Product, and Guidance under the new content package.
