Question

Suppressing sections from a topic

In Robohelp10 is there a way to suppress information or a section from a topic?  Or is the option to only suppress the entire topic?  Even though the topic or section is not searchable, can anyone find it?  Another question - could we suppress either a section of a topic or the entire topic by business role or is it an all or nothing type feature?

    Hi there

    Are you wanting to simply avoid the section being found during a search? Or do you not want the text to appear at all?

    Or even possibly "hide" the section until it is needed, then reveal it?

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Actually both if that makes any sense at all.

    Within a Topic I have two types of information listed, some for an end User and other for a Support function.  Would I be able to set it up so that only end Users can see some information where the Support User would be able to see everything?

    Would I need to separate the information into two topics; one for the end User and the other for Support?

    Hiding a section would be useful as long as I can hide it from some users and not all users.

    Thx

    Joanna

    Wondering about Content Categories (Dynamic User Centric Content)?

    You could have a Welcome topic telling users to select their group and then they will see just what you want them to see. They would be able to select either option though.

    It is described in the sample projects and in the RoboHelp Tour on my site. Look in the New Features for Rh9.

    It may not be what you want but it's worth a look.

    See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

    Hi Peter,

    I will check it out...good to know about the different features, if it does not work for me in this scenario, there may be a need for it in another.

    Thank you!

    Joanna
