During publishing, Author filters the objects to match the selected variant values. If objects matching the values are not available, the appropriate objects defined by the fall-back path are used.
Set the filter for your publishing job in the following filters:
-
Book Filter: Open the book and filter the contents, then choose the publishing output. The filter settings for the publishing job are taken from the filter settings applied to the book content. (The settings in the publishing filter can be changed if required.)
-
Publishing Filter: Select a book and choose the publishing output. Apply the filtering settings using the publishing filter.
Important: The filter is not shown when you select any XML-based publishing option because all variants are included in the XML file.
