I have a select your location as my index page but need to point the user to their content that I created as two seperate outputs using tags.  How can i have the user click on a icon and it then takes them to the different output?  I am using Robohelp 2019 classic

    It looks like you are saying you want a home page with tiles but where the tile selected goes to just that output. Before going any further, is the help for each country in a different language for each or is it all in one language?

    Peter,  I have the home page or index page with a icon of the 4 different locations that a user would be from.  example Shanghai, Paris, Hong Kong and USA.    I have tagged the individual items with a location tag.  What I was wondering if I output each location as its own SSI file can i point to using a hyperlink on the location select page>

    So two ways to go about this I suspect - you could have separate outputs (one for each location) in like a merged help parent & child structure (see Peter's https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/authoring/merged_help.htm) and have each of the icons point to the different outputs OR you could go the route with the Dynamic Content Filtering.

    Or are you trying to accomplish something like Dynamic Content Filtering (see https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/outputs/dynamic_content.htm)?

    I am not clear on what the problem is. You say "I have a select your location as my index page". What do you mean by "your location".

     

    Each output is in a different folder so they have different URLs.

     

    Please clarify the problem.
