About Formatting Generate Documentation

To format your work instructions, Work Instructions provides you with three formatting translator (XSLT) files and a PPR attribute selection (XML) file.

If your user interface translates into a language other than English, you can modify the PPR attributes so that the attribute names appear in the language into the user interface.

Note: Your administrator can also use one or more of the three CATRule files to customize formatting and to determine whether your generated files save with the operation or system. For more information, see Business Rules.

If you choose to format all of a system's instructions, the output consists of a home page that links to the work instructions of each operation.

To format the system information, you can use either the WKI System Preview. XSLT or WKI System Preview - Brief.XSLT files that Work Instructions Planning supplies. WKI System Preview. XSLT contains PPR information; WKI System Preview - Brief. XSLT does not.

If you are going to have PPR data in the system page, you can determine which PPR data to have by modifying WKI Attributes to Publish. XML. By default, the file publishes all PPR data.

When you click a link to one of the operations, the page with the instructions appears. The instructions appear in the browser. If you have attached images or screen captures to the instructions, those images appear in the work instructions.

If you have attached nonimage documents, links to those documents appear.

To format the operation information, you can use either the WKI Operation Preview. XSLT files that Work Instructions Planning supplies, or you can modify the file, insert it into a catalog, then select it.
