Browse sequences with Content Categories

Hi

I am using RH10, with TCS4. I am publishing to WebHelp.

We have a requirement to create two ToCs for two roles accessing our course material. The content and the TOCs are linked to FM book. I have created Content Categories for this purpose. The problem is that I am not able to create browse sequences for each of these category's TOC. Browse sequence editor accepts only one TOC. Is there a way I can make it work?

Or, should I explore merged WebHelp feature to make this happen? I am not familiar with it. But I know Grainge's website offers the best guidance on this topic if I have to learn.

Thanks in advance.

    Merged webhelp is not the answer here. You should be able to define the browse sequences you want for each content category.

    What do I select in the Browse Sequence Editor window (Tools > Browse Sequence Editor)? In my case, the navigation should be as per the TOC, at 2nd level.

    I am wondering if you are approaching this in the right way. If I understand your requirements you have a single FM file. This creates your content in RH which includes content for two specific audience. If you only want audience A to see the Audience A content and audience B to see the Audience B content, you don't need browse sequences. You just need to create your content categories in the WebHelp single source layout.

    See RH9 Dynamic User-Centric Content for further details. This refers to RH9 but it also applies to later versions.

    Browse sequences are a way of leading users through a logical sequence of topics (e.g. steps in a UI wizard). They are not a way of filtering out content.
