Meeting Details
Organizations use Adobe RoboHelp to create online help systems for multiple audience types. While some of your customers might need to see all content in your help system, others might require only a portion of it. Maintaining multiple RoboHelp projects—one for each audience—can drive you crazy because you will need to fix the same content errors in every individual project.
Conditional build tags and dynamic filters in RoboHelp work together brilliantly and allow you to create and manage your project for an unlimited number of outputs and audiences. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to create conditional tags, assign tags to topics, and learn how to generate outputs for multiple audiences from a single project.
Matt will show us how to
- Create Build Tags
- Apply Build Tags to Topic content (text and images)
- Apply Build Tags to Topics
- Create Build Tag Expressions
- Create Conditional Filters
- Create Conditional Output
As a content expert, you always want to offer your customers the ability to find content that suits their needs. This content requirement can vary in many ways—e.g., geography, different user groups, software or hardware platforms, installation details, or other factors. So, how do you let your users define their environment to get the content they are looking for?
Adobe RoboHelp allows you to generate output that lets your audience customize their help by defining their environment. In this virtual workshop, we will explore how you can combine the power of conditional build tags with dynamic content filters in RoboHelp to publish content that users can finely tune as per their needs.
Learn how to
- Define Dynamic Content Filters
- Connect existing Conditional Build Tags with Dynamic Content Filters
- Publish output that allows users to personalize the content selectively
