Exposed stories

An exposed story contains content that you configure in a Composition Center enabled StoryTeller Process. Exposed stories can contain any content. For example, texts, tables, and charts with business data. In Composition Center, the stories are exposed as resources and the business users can add them as content to the document definitions.

In Composition Center, the business user can control:

•	Where the story is displayed in output documents, by adding the story to a section.

•	When the story is displayed in output documents, by applying rules.

Example 3

Exposed story

A utility company uses slightly different types of invoices for different customer categories. All invoices list charges per fixed telephony, mobile telephony, Internet connection, etc. Since gold customers always use more than one service, their invoices also display the charges as a chart.

The invoice is designed in StoryTeller, and texts and images related to the different customer categories are managed in Composition Center. The chart intended for gold customers is designed in a story in StoryTeller. The story is configured to be exposed. In Composition Center, the story is added to a section and a rule is created. The rule states that the chart should only be included in output when the Customer category = Gold.

When output is generated, the list of charges and the chart are created from input data.
