For CLI Users

1. Before you create the Composite Content Views, list the version IDs for your existing Content Views:

   # hammer content-view version list \
   --organization "My_Organization"

2. Create a new Composite Content View. When the --auto-publish option is set to yes, the Composite Content View is automatically republished when a Content View it includes is republished:

   # hammer content-view create \
   --composite \
   --auto-publish yes \
   --name "Example_Composite_Content_View" \
   --description "Example Composite Content View" \
   --organization "My_Organization"

3. Add a component Content View to the Composite Content View. You must include the Content View Version ID and use the --latest option. To include multiple component Content Views to the Composite Content View, repeat this step for every Content View you want to include:

   # hammer content-view component add \
   --component-content-view-id Content_View_Version_ID \
   --latest \
   --composite-content-view "Example_Composite_Content_View"

4. Publish the Composite Content View:

   # hammer content-view publish \
   --name "Example_Composite_Content_View" \
   --description "Initial version of Composite Content View" \
   --organization "My_Organization"

5. Promote the Composite Content View across all environments:

   # hammer content-view version promote \
   --content-view "Example_Composite_Content_View" \
   --version 1 \
   --to-lifecycle-environment "Development" \
   --organization "My_Organization"
   # hammer content-view version promote \
   --content-view "Example_Composite_Content_View" \
   --version 1 \
   --to-lifecycle-environment "Testing" \
   --organization "My_Organization"
   # hammer content-view version promote \
   --content-view "Example_Composite_Content_View" \
   --version 1 \
   --to-lifecycle-environment "Production" \
   --organization "My_Organization"
