Working with ease
Authoring
In the context-based user interface, there is a selection of views to choose from for drawing up content, ranging from WYSIWYG to pure XML data.
The desired features possible within the current context and authorized for a given user are enabled by the internal editor, XMAX. Hence content can be created and edited directly in XR. The integrated authordesk author support system helps you adhere to your company’s terminology.
Or else simply continue using the XML editor you are familiar with such as XMetaL, Framemaker or Oxygen.

STRICT SEPARATION OF LAYOUT, CONTENT AND STRUCTURE
Multi-channel publishing
The big advantage of XML content management systems is the strict separation of layout, content and structure. This offers flexibility in terms of the output of different file formats.
With the push of a button, output various file formats such as PDF, HTML5, iiRDS or MS Word documents that are in line with your corporate design. Should you ever need an additional layout, you can create it with just a few clicks.
And that’s not all. XR offers an integrated link to the Content Delivery Portal, easybrowse, so that content can be distributed that is specific to the target audience when content is available not only as a PDF file.
manage a wide variety of product variants at the touch of a button
Variants
Using the powerful variant management tool in XR allows you to manage a wide variety of product variants at the touch of a button.
The reuse of content frees you from having to go through all of the data you hold and make revisions. Simply revise the content in one place and all the documents where this content is used will be automatically updated.
The technical data of your products is saved as a variable and can be updated specifically for each product.
For maximum flexibility, you should specify the applicability of your documents. Using maximum content compilation and filters, you can then publish the desired document variant or extract single documents.
manage any type of media data in your content management system
Media management
Apart from text, documentation can also include images, animated artwork, PDFs and other file formats. These file formats can be managed directly in XR.
Adding metadata enables you to always keep track of even thousands of files. Easily, quickly and efficiently.
»XR is an XML content management system that you can use even without XML knowledge – simple, intuitive and smart.«
Central prerequisites for this segment include compliance with the highest regulatory requirements and safety standards. This is exactly what XR/aviation delivers. The focus is on the creation of operations manuals, including the tagging of variant information that enables aircraft-specific use of information by cockpit and cabin crew members.
An additional elementary function is the calculation and display of reasons for revisions. Regulatory authorities can reliably trace the revisions, which accelerates the review and approval of documents. The information structure is based on a DTD, optimized for the requirements of airline companies. Information from manufacturers can be included and used in the manufacturers’ file formats (PDF, XML).
XR/aviation supports the approval process by automatically generating transmittal letters and change descriptions for submission to approval bodies. The additionally integrated Compliance Assistant supports you in recording and reviewing EASA regulatory content.
XR/aviation is available as a basic version you can use immediately after just a few process-specific configuration steps.
