The option to map index words is available for an index hierarchy. For more information on indexes, refer to Creating Document Indexes in the Publisher (Adobe InDesign Integration) documentation here.
Index words that are linked to products display on the product's References Tab under the Index Words flipper.
Index words modeled as classification objects are displayed in the classifications section of the Tree. The Sort Word attribute can be used to order an index non-alphabetically.
The user interface for the mapping step of the Export Manager tool and the outbound integration endpoint tool are not exactly the same. For Export Manager, mapping is described in the Export Manager - Map Data topic here. For OIEPs, mapping is handled in the Output Templates flipper under the Format parameter as described in the OIEP - Event-Based - Output Templates Flipper topic (here) or the OIEP - Select Objects - Output Templates Flipper topic (here).
For more information about the additional wizard steps, refer to the Creating a Data Export topic (here) or the Creating an Outbound Integration Endpoint topic (here).
After mapping, most output options can be altered using transformations. For more information, refer to the Outbound Map Data - Transform topic here.
The index words of an index hierarchy can be exported as follows:
- Index Words Linked to Products Using Word - exports the index word
- Index Words Linked to Products Using Sort Word - exports the sort word attribute value
- Index Words from Classification - exports all index words in the selected hierarchy
Each of these options is defined below.
