How to reset Status field and clear ToDo List outside of UI?

Morning all,

RH 802 generating WebHelp.

I've made use of the Status field and ToDo List in the past. For my next release of Help, I'd like to reset these fields for all Topics so I can again have accurate reports as Topics progress from creation/review to final version.

Is there any way to do this without opening each Topic in the UI and manually clearing/changing fields? (I thought of deleting all the ToDo fields and recreating them, but figured there's an easier way.) Is this information stored in each Topic or in a separate file?

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Patrick

Close any topics that may be open in the editor.
Open the Topic List pod.
Select all topics.
Right-click and choose Topic Properties.
Click the Status tab.
Change as needed.

All topics should change to reflect the new status and To-Do list settings.

Cheers... Rick

Cool Beans!

I don't have the Topic List pod open regularly enough. I've done similar things in there - completely forgot about it.

Time to change my environments...

Thanks much,

Patrick
