Hi we are using Robo Help product. we launched it on Apache Tomcat server.

When we publish a project in an area and try to view that, the URL in the address bar is displayed very long with % characters and other junk.

can anyone please let me know how to customize the URL? a user friendly URL in place of the long URL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You can try customizing the URL using the following pattern

http://<SERVERNAME>:<PORT>/robohelp/robo/server/<AREANAME>/projects/<PROJECTNAME>/<PROJECTNAME>.htm

This is the user friendly URL that can be used to refer the help system hosted on a RoboHelp server. No file needs to be updated to access this URL.

where <SERVERNAME>:<PORT> refers to the server name and port where you have hosted the help system

<AREANAME> is the name of RoboHelp project area where you have published the help system

<PROJECTNAME> is the name of the RoboHelp Project
