Help 2 Filters

How to get here: In Settings on the HTML Configuration tab, select Files & Format > Help 2 > Registration > Filters

Doc-O-Matic automatically creates a filter called "(no filter)" which is necessary to display the complete content of the Help file. It also serves as the default filter. The default filter does not have a filter expression. It should not be deleted but you may rename it.

  1. Next to the Filter box, click Add.
  2. In the Displayed Text box type the text you want to show in the filter combo box in the Help 2 Viewer.
  3. In the Expression box type the text by which you can filter your Help.
  1. Mark topics that you want to include in a filter using flags. For example add flags for Advanced User and Beginners.
  2. In the Edit Flag dialog on the AutoDoc > Flags page select the Use as attribute check box.
  3. In the Name box typ the name of the attribute. This can be the flag name or another name. For example type Audience.
  4. Next to the Filter box, click Add.
  5. Enter display text and an expression. For example enter Advanced Users. in the Display Text box and enter("Audience"="Advanced Users") in the Expression box.
