create nested content

Good morning!

I am here again!

I would like to understand if there is a way in RH to insert different blocks of documents in a single project that can be viewed according to need. For example, inserting  a methodological manual in a user one in a single project but having the possibility of viewing the methodological manual (the entire manual) by clicking a link perhaps?

    I think you are misunderstanding what @Stefan Gentz has suggested.

     

    One project has all the content and you generate it all. The user can select the parts they want. See RH2022 Dynamic Content Filtering (grainge.org). On that page you will see a filter icon top right, click that to see how it changes what the user sees.

    Thanks so much Stefan and Peter. Using dynamic filtering as an output feature is a great workaround for my needs!

    I'm also not sure, if I completely understand the requirement, but I guess dynamic content could do what you want. You can have one project with different different types of content and then mark these sections with conditional tags. End-users visiting the published page can then select which content they want to see based on selecting checkboxes.

    Thanks Stefan, I tried to do it with tags, but with tags it is necessary to "generate" different projects according to the dynamic filter that is chosen in the preset and I would like to avoid having to " generate" different projects.

    If I understand your needs, then no, there's no way for RH to dynamically rearrange blocks of content in response to some user's profile. What you might look at is creating browse sequences for different users that walk them through a different sequence of topics.

    Exactly Jeff, and if instead I wanted to view, for the same user profile, several "projects" in a single one without however seeing them one "under the other" in the TOC, but recalling one via, for example, a link through which an entire project opens, it can be done?

    I'm not entirely clear on what you want here. 

     

    You say "inserting  a methodological manual in a user one" (one what?) and then viewing the same manual but saying it is the entire manual.

    Imagine two manuals, one methodological and one user, which are normally written in two separate projects. If I wanted to merge one project into the other without seeing tnem one "under" the other (like two or more separate topic) but making sure that one (for example the methodological manual) is displayed only if you clock on a link, can this be done? I thought about doing it with microcontents but it's not clear to me how they work.
