<div><div class="p"><div class="p">Work product is a general term for task inputs and outputs. There
are three types of work product:<ul><li><a href="artifact.html#artifact">Artifact</a></li>
<li><a href="outcome.html#outcome">Outcome</a></li>
<li><a href="deliverable.html#deliverable">Deliverable</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
You should always create new method content in a <a href="methodplugin.html#methodplugin">Method Plug-in</a> that you produce.</div>
<div class="section">To create a work product:</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Expand the Content Package in which you want to create the work
product.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Right click <strong>Work Products</strong>, and then select one of the following:</span> <ul><li><strong>New &gt; Artifact</strong></li>
<li><strong>New &gt; Outcome</strong></li>
<li><strong>New &gt; Deliverable</strong></li>
</ul>
The Work Product editor for the specific type of work product you are
creating appears with the Description tab set as the default.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Name field, type a unique name for your work product. The
work product name is the file name that appears in the <a href="libraryview.html#libraryview">Library View</a>. </span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Presentation name field, type a presentation name. the presentation
name is the name that appears in your published content and in the <a href="configurationview.html#configurationview">Configuration View</a>. You can also make this name appear in the library
view by toggling the <strong>Show Presentation Names</strong> button in the library
view toolbar.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Brief Description field, type a short description of the
new work product.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Type a more detailed description of the new work product in the
Main Description field. The main description is a more detailed version of
the description you typed into the Brief Description field. There are three
ways to create text for the description:</span> <ul><li>Directly, by typing it manually in the editor.</li>
<li>Copy from another similar work product and then modify using the editor.</li>
<li>Copy from an HTML source, such as a published OpenUP/Basic Web site.</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You can use the Rich Text Editor to edit or enter the text for
any field that has a twisty symbol <img src="collapsed.gif" alt="" />. Simply click the symbol to access the Rich Text Editor. Click the
symbol again to close the Rich Text Editor. For more information see <a href="richtexteditor.html#richtexteditor">Rich Text Editor</a>.</div>
</li>

Outcomes do not.</div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Under <strong>Icon</strong> you can select a node icon to appear with the
work product in the Library and Configuration views and in the tree browser

select a Shape icon to appear at the top of the published Web page for the
work product. the Shape icon should be 32 x 32 pixels.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Complete the other work product specific fields as needed. See <a href="variability.html#variability">Variability</a> for information

in one domain, any number of work product types, and any number of custom
categories. Open the appropriate Select dialog by clicking the <strong>Select</strong> or <strong>Add</strong> button
next to the category lists. Select a single domain or any number of work product
kinds or custom categories and then click <strong>OK</strong>. You can remove a work
product from a category by selecting it and then clicking the appropriate <strong>Remove</strong> button.</span></li>
