Adobe RoboHelp 7: Adding See Also Navigation
See Also keywords allow you to place related RoboHelp topics into one common group.
See Also keywords will not appear on the Index when you generate the project. Instead, See Also keywords remain hidden and will appear only when called by a user. One popular way to get a See Also to appear is to use Link Controls (a button that links to topics or See Also keywords).
In the following steps, you will learn how to create a See Also name and associate some topics with it. Then you will create a Link Control in a topic that tells the See Also to appear if the control is clicked by a user.
- On the Project Manager pod, double-click the See Also folder
- Click in the white space at the top of the See Also pod
- Type a name for the keyword (in the example below, I typed Managers) and then press [Enter]
Now you need to associate topics with the new See Also keyword.
- On the Topic List pod, drag topics into the Topics for Managers area (in the picture below, I added topics named hr.htm, IS.htm, pres.htm and master.htm)
Now you need to insert a link control in a topic.
- Open a topic
- Choose Insert > See Also
The See Also Wizard - Link Options dialog box appears.
- Give the control a label (I typed Our Managers into the Label field)
- Click Next
The See Also Wizard - See Also Keywords Selection screen appears. The See Also keyword you created should be the only keyword available to Add.
- Click the Add button
- Click Next
- Select Popup menu from the Choose topic from area
- Click Next
- Choose any Font, Font Style and Size you like
- Click Finish
Your button should now appear in the topic.
To test the button, you would generate and view the project and open the topic containing the button.
