™ S1000D authoring and CSDB
Create and maintain S1000D technical content in a structured authoring environment, with a CSDB that controls versions, references, applicability and release.
Datasheet available upon requestRequest a datasheet
For technical publications authors, reviewers, approvers, illustrators and CSDB teams at OEMs and publications suppliers.
Keep source content controlled through release.
Authors, reviewers and publishers work with the same source history. Validation and workflow controls help keep an unresolved issue from becoming a released publication.
Author
Create data modules and publication modules using the project’s schema, business rules and applicability data.
Review
Check content, resolve references and route changes through the appropriate reviewers and approvers.
Release
Release controlled source content and hand a validated package to Arkitect for publication.
Author the content. Govern the changes.
Structured S1000D editing
Work with data modules, publication modules and common information repository content. The editor follows the content structure defined by the applicable S1000D schema.
Schema and BREX validation
Validate content at check-in and key workflow transitions. Schema, business-rule and reference findings can prevent content from advancing until they are resolved.
Applicability in context
Maintain ACT, CCT and PCT data modules and apply the conditions defined for the project. Authoring and publishing use the same applicability evaluator.
Controlled versions and workflow
Keep committed versions, manage check-out locks and track review decisions. Role-based transitions and audit history record how content moved from draft to release.
Illustrations and hotspots
Work with CGM and SVG illustrations alongside the source content. Create and maintain hotspots, with stale hotspots identified when the underlying drawing changes.
Exchange with other CSDBs
Import and export S1000D Data Dispatch Note packages. Keep supplier baselines separately addressable from local changes when revised content arrives.
Keep incoming data and local changes traceable.
Technical publications teams often maintain content supplied by other organizations. Syntaxis retains the received source and records local changes against that baseline.
When a new supplier package arrives, the team can review what changed and how it affects the local content. Applicability conflicts can be reviewed as governed decisions rather than hidden edits to upstream XML.
Source authoring, followed by publication.
Syntaxis manages controlled source content. Arkitect processes that content into the signed libraries used by Horizon. Teams can also exchange supported packages with other CSDB systems.

Deploy on infrastructure you control.
The browser-based applications run within a single-tenant NIVOMAX installation on premises or in a customer-operated cloud tenancy. Deployment and restricted-network requirements are assessed for your operating environment.
Support that matches your organization.
Application support covers the Licensee’s designated support contacts. Direct support for other users in the Licensee’s organization and its customer organizations is available through optional End-User Support.
Installation, migration, data conversion and custom integration are available separately through Professional Services.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need Syntaxis to use NIVOMAX?
Syntaxis is optional. Arkitect can publish supported source content from other authoring and CSDB systems. Add Syntaxis when your organization needs authoring and source-content governance within NIVOMAX.
Can we exchange content with a partner CSDB?
Syntaxis supports S1000D Data Dispatch Note packages in both directions. The exchange convention and project rules need to be agreed with the partner organization.
Can we keep supplier source separate from local changes?
Syntaxis retains incoming supplier source and records local changes against that baseline. When revised supplier content arrives, the team can review its effect on the local version.
How is Syntaxis licensed?
Syntaxis is licensed separately as an optional application within a NIVOMAX installation. Contact Synaxiom to review the author, reviewer and approver requirements for your organization.
