1. Introduction

This page is devoted to actions necessary to buildout the SWEHBVE version of the Handbook. 

The checklist for building the new version is in SWEHBDOC - New Version of SWEHB. 

2. Theme

2.1 Header And Footer Layout

The new theme will have the same layout except for the following: 

  • Header:
    • New images for SWEHBVE 
      • Draft - has "DRAFT" in the image
      • Production - "DRAFT" is removed from the image
    • New buttons pointing to Top Level Pages in SWEHBVE
  • Footer - No changes

The images are built in a PPT that is attached to the SWEHBVE - "Book A. Introduc this page and will be attached to the Book A. Introduction page. 

  • The PPT where the images were built is 

2.1.2 DRAFT Image - SWEHBVE_draft.jpg"

2.1.2 Production Image - SWEHBVE_banner.jpg

2.2 Buttons in SWEHBVE

Buttons in the Header area of the theme match those in SWEHBVD except that they point to SWEHBVE and the appropriate Top Level Page in the new space. 



2.3 Theme Promotion At New Version Release

When the SWEHBVE is promoted to be the "current version" the following changes will be made by IT: 

  • The SWEHBVD theme will be demoted to being the theme for only the SWEHBVD space
  • The SWEHBVE theme will be promoted to being the Default Theme. This will make SWEHBVE show up on both the SWEHBVE and SITE spaces.
  • All other versions of the handbook will continue to use their own custom theme. 


3. Top Level Pages

Some top level pages that will be moved into SWEHBVE manually. These are necessary to ensure that the buttons in the Header are working properly. A mass copy of the remaining pages will then be done. 

3.1 First Set of TLP

  • Book A. Introduction - this will become the anchor for the new version just like in SWEHBVD - Done, needs cleanup
  • Page Sections - to fix Page Top Messages - Copy complete - needs cleanup
  • B. Institutional Requirements - Copy complete -
  • C. Project Software Requirements - Copy complete -
  • D. Topics -Copy complete -
  • E. Tools, References, and Terms - with children - Copy complete -
  • Label database - Copy complete -
  • References Table - Copy complete -
  • SWE Pages - need children
  • Tools Table - Copy complete -
  • Topics Pages - need children


  • Protected Area - Cleanup before copying


4. Copy Instructions 

Copy instructions will be developed, tested and documented here so they can be reliably used when the real copy of SWEHBVE is done. 

Test 1

  • copied Page Sections from D to E
  • Changed "2D" in Intro Page Top Message to "2E"
  • Checked Intro page and found that the 2D was changed to 2E automatically. 



5. Page Naming

When pages are copied over to SWEHBVE links will be copied as well. The question here is: "what space is the link pointing to when the page is copied to SWEHBVE?" 

Test will be made here and instructions will be developed, tested and documented here so they can be reliably used when the real copy of SWEHBVE is done.
