Dynamic Content filters on RoboHelp

Hi,

I use Robohelp 2019.

I set 3 filter groups: Language (English, German), Technical (tech1, tech2) and Steps ( step1, step2).

Then, I assigned these tags to the topics. In such a way, each topic has one selection of each filter group. For example, Topic one is tagged with English, tech1, and step2. And Topic 2 is tagged with german, tech2 and step2.

My purpose is to enable the user to have only the topics which have exactly the selected filters. For example when he/she selects English, tech1 and step1 the topic 1 should appear; but when the user selects English, tech1, and step2, no topics should appear.

The problem I actually have is that the filters are seemingly applied with "Or" relations between them on the home page. For example, when I select german, tech2 and step2 I have all the topics with german tag and the topics with the tech2 tag and the topics with step2 tag. In other words, I have almost all the topics on the homepage. Then, when I access to a topic page, I have no content inside because the filters are applied now with "AND" relation. I do not use any condition expression. I would like to set "AND" relation between all the filters on the homepage.

Any help, much appreciated!

New 2019 or Classic?

If you are using the new version, you cannot apply tags to both topic level and content level in the same topic. It's either/or. What you want to do requires expressions and they are not available in the new version.
