Clustering at a Glance - Fluid Topics - Latest

Clustering means grouping publications or topics based on shared metadata.

Once documents are clustered together, it is possible to use the switch to relatives feature to easily select a specific version of a publication (based on the language, version, audience, etc.)

It allows content publishers to organize and manage content efficiently.

Fluid Topics clusters publications and topics using the ft:clusterId built-in metadata key.

Declare the same ft:clusterId in a selection of documents or topics to group them in the Search page, where readers can select a variant.

How to add the ft:clusterId metadata key for the following formats:

• Author-it
• DITA
• FTML
• Markdown
• Paligo
• Adobe FrameMaker
• MadCap Flare
• Microsoft Word
• Unstructured documents

Selecting Choose among variants opens a drawer to select a specific variant (internal or public, 4.2 or Latest, etc.).
