How to add a ditamap file name in Structured Framemaker

Hi there,

 

Ref: Structured FrameMaker

 

I was asked to put the ditamap name in the header of my published document (for an internal customer, this a work instruction name).

 

I opened the structured output template ChapterOutputTpl_WI_0104.fm and renamed it to ChapterOutputTpl_WI_test.fm.

I tried 2 approaches:

  1. Entered a variable <filename short>
  2. Entered a fixed number in the header that is the work instruction name and my ditamap name

    My ditamap is as shown below.

    When I published, I got the following headers:

    1. On the title page:
       
       

       

       

    2. On the Caution page- why is not the layout on the title page,  I don’t know
       

       

       

    3. On the Step_1_test file
       

       

       

    4. On the Step_2_test file – why the layout is not as this for Step_1_test file and doesn’t have file name, I have not idea.
       

       

       

    The fixed number shown as item 2 was shown everywhere.

    However, I would like to have the ditamap name in the header, so when I change the file name and the revision in it, it will be automatically reflected in the header.


    Does someone add a ditamap name in the header (or footer)?

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

     

    My published pdf is attached.
