- "d48f4e57-5680-4a88-8505-f7abc83cf68a
- , which allows for better search results, can be applied to individual frames that make up a topic or associated, in a broader sense, to non-topic documents that can be related to one or more topics.
- Context
- Topic documents
- Context is added to a topic (on a frame by frame basis) during the recording process. You can view the Context ID for any frame in the Context ID dialog box.
- Context can also be manually added to a topic, on a frame by frame basis, if the match type is ExactMatch or NoMatch. You cannot add context to frames with a context type of SmartMatch because they are fuzzy matches, not specific Context IDs.
- The Context ID dialog box opens from within a topic by clicking
- Non-topic documents
- Context can be assigned to a non-topic document such as a section or module. This allows you to define relationships between topics and non-topic documents ensuring that related documents appear in a topic. For example, each time a user works through the process of filling out a purchase order form (for example, a series of topics), a link to the actual purchase order form (for example, a non-topic document) can be provided. In the Developer, the author can associate each frame of the process with the non-topic document. They can also associate the entire topic with a section or module.
- Note:
- Context relationships for non-topic documents are set up from the Context field in the General category of the Properties toolpane. The Context field displays the name of each topic associated with the non-topic document. The Context button opens the Context dialog box which is used to add relationships from existing topics to non-topic documents and/or create Context IDs for new topics that are related to non-topic documents. The Context dialog box contains two tabs: Topic Contexts and Context Names.
- The Topic Contexts tab is where you create Context IDs for non-topic documents by selecting existing topics with context. This relationship insures that when you look at the section, the associated topics also appear. The Add Topic Contexts button opens the Add Existing Topic Contents dialog box where you can select existing topics with context to relate to the non-topic document.
- Note:
- The Context Names tab is where you create additional Context IDs or edit the existing Context IDs of supported application screens associated with a non-topic document. The Create New Context button opens the
