Mass Import of Help Topics

Is there a way to mass import topics and attach a template to them? Or is it possible to import an Excel spreadsheet and generate help topic shells based on the info in the spreadsheet? e.g. column A = directory, column B = help topic title

Thanks!

Hi there

No way I'm aware of to make that happen.

You are able to import lots of topics at a time by choosing File > Import and selecting many, but that's about the extent of it.

Assigning a template is simple enough. Just select all the topics in the Topic List and right-click. Choose the template from the properties.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Captiv8r! - I tried what you said and the import works and the apply the template using the Topic List tab works fine, but if I make subsequent adjustments to the template the topics aren't update appropriately. Any reason why?

BTW - I'm using RH7
