Output format should be on Add publication output window

"Output format" window should be combined with "Add publication output" window to make the system a bit leaner and the creation faster.

Screenshot showing 'Select Output Format' window on the left with options like CHM, PDF, PDF Review, and Zip. An arrow points from 'Output format' dropdown to 'Output format' field in 'Add Publication Output' window on the right.

  • I am afraid that will be tricky: Based on the selection in the first step, the available options in the second step might be different (e.g. multiple languages might not be supported will all Output formats or additional attributes might be required for web delivery). So as a generic solution, supporting all kinds of output, I see a two step interface as the only option.

    We are not able to see any difference within the different selected output formats metadates. All windows and available fields are the same over all selected outputs. Our system provider SXP (Endan Mulyamardini) also agreed on that point, that there is no difference as you mentioned before. So please tell us more detailed about the differences you suggest. 

    So far as we know, espacially since the output format also can be changed in the second window and there is no known difference between the selected outputs we recommend to slim the creation process down, started with the omission of the first window. Please reply on our request and question. Thanks in advance.
