Automatic index generation

Overview

The automatic index generation suggests index keywords based on the content of your help page.

These keywords must still be checked. However, this feature automatically searches for existing keywords in the help page according to specific criteria

Note: Index keywords are ignored in PDF help files.

How to?

To start the automatic index generation:

Select the help page to use.
Select "Automatic index" in the context menu of the help page.
In the window that is displayed, select the options required to automatically search for the keywords. For more details, see the paragraph below.
Click "Find" to start the search.
Select the keywords that will be associated with the page. A checkmark appears next to each selected keyword.
Add new keywords if necessary ("Add" button).
Validate. The selected keywords are automatically associated with the current page.

Note: The automatic keyword generation window can also be opened from the page properties:

On the "Modification" tab, in the "Table of contents" group, click "Description".
On the "Index" tab, click "Auto index...".

Keyword selection options

The Keyword selection options are as follows:

- Words in uppercase: If this filter is included in the search, all words in uppercase found on the help page will be automatically suggested as keywords. If this filter is excluded from the search, none of the words in uppercase found on the page will be suggested.
