In order to prevent projects (directories) from being displayed in end media, these do not have to be removed, but it is sufficient to apply the context menu command Remove publication mark. By using Set publication mark projects (directories) can be labeled for display in end media in principle, where other factors will also play a role.

Icons

For the marking of the Publication status, there are following icons:

On project level:

On directory level:

Note The publication mark is set and saved on project level, NOT on directory level. The publication mark shown next to a folder icon is just an indication of publication status of the projects within respective folder. So the visibility of a directory is not defined by its publication mark, but instead is determined by the publication status of the projects within the directory. May be the respective command is used on directory level in order to save time, however, in any case state of the projects is determining. Example: At projects with QA status < 5 the publication mark is mandatorily removed. The use of the command Set publication mark on a hierarchically superordinated level will not change the status of such projects in any case.

Icon	Meaning
	The quotation mark is displayed, when the state is not clear (during catalog download for example). In other cases you can use the command Update publication status in order to clarify the status.

Context menu commands

Note

The state of the publication mark does not refer to the transmission of projects to SVN server, but to the visibility in end media. Even if Remove publication mark has been performed (gray icon ), projects are transferred to the server. Publication mark On -> The project may be visible in end media basically, whereby the actual visibility is determined by an interaction of different factors. Publication mark Off = -> The project is not visible in end media. For details please see under Section 6.10.4, “ Case differentiation concerning project visibility in end media”.

Example:

Projects with QA status < 5

At projects with QA status lower than 5, the publication mark is deactivated (= gray icon ).

If attempting to apply the command Set publication mark, an error message appears.

Set publication mark

The project does not have a sufficient QA level!

If a project with set publication mark gets assigned a QA status < 5, is will lose its publication mark (-> ).

Example:

Initial situation is a project with QA state 8.

The QA state is set to 3.

-> A security prompt is displayed. (Then the project has to pass TestMeta again, for example.)

-> After confirmation with Yes the publication mark is removed (-> ).
