Quickly populating the Glossary

I like the idea in the info below, posted 08 Nov 2006 by La
Menting, but does not work. I have 4 entries in my glossary--need
to add about 100 more. However, when I open the project's .glo
file, it is empty. I saved my project closed RH 7, and the file is
still empty. Any ideas?
II recently converted a WinHelp project to HTML. The only
problem I've encountered is that the Glossary entries are all in
bold and a larger font than the normal HTML Glossary output. It's
extremely ugly and gives me a headache after looking at only two or
three entries. Because I subscribe to the “be kind to the
customer” philosophy, I'd like to fix this. Does anyone have
the solution? Any help will be much appreciated...by me, at least.

* open your .glo file in notepad.
* copy and paste your glossary on another notepad - delete
the text entry on your current .glo file.
* paste the entry on the other notepad back to the .glo file
which is currenty in notepad.
of course don't forget to backup your original .glo file
before doing this.
Example of .glo entry
NAME=Data
Definition of Data.
NAME=Element
Definition of Element.
NAME should be in uppercase followed by an = sign then your
glossary entry. Ensure the definition appears on the very next
paragraph.

Hi yenelli
The only thing that comes to mind here is that maybe you
aren't looking in the right location. Assuming you have four
entries in your Glossary, there should be data in the file. This
would suggest that you aren't looking at the right file.
It may be helpful to employ one of my all time favorite
RoboHelp tricks here. To quickly open Windows Explorer in the
Project location. Just right-click any topic in your project and
choose Properties (It may also say Topic Properties). Then click
the File tab. See that button in the lower right of the dialog? The
one labeled Open Folder? Click that puppy and Windows Explorer
should pop open in your project location. Sweet, huh?
Now try looking at the .GLO file you find there and see if
you are able to see your entries.
Let us know how you make out... Rick Cheers

  • How do I export words and definitions from the glossary widget in C7?

    How do I export words and definitions from the glossary widget as XML? I need to use the same glossary in several projects. When I copy and paste the widget to a different project about 1/2 of the definitions disappear. Figured I would try exporting the words then importing them back in new glossaries in each project. Using 7 on a Mac.

    Yes i read, and the answer to the main question is still the same, you cannot export, you just can import definitions if you previously have structured them into an xml file. So, first of all it would be useful to warn the user to ALWAYS start from an xml file BEFORE starting populating the glossary. Furthermore, not all users are supposed to manage easily an xml editing, and the widget itself has been programmed to insert the definitions with a simple method, so it would be necessary also to have an instrument to export to xml for importing purpose. Storyline has the same lack, you cannot move glossary from one project to another but you are forced to start from an old project or insert the glossary itself into a master project. You will agree with me that an xml export feature is not something so difficult to add for the widget. In my personal example, i added about 200 definitions, then i discovered that the glossary of captivate 7 does not work well in html5, the new one in captivate 8 is little bit better, but still not working on chrome (at least on ipad it shows, but you cannot show a button over it since it goes always on the top of everything, so at the moment i inserted a big transparent square behind it to close everyting like a lightbox). This widget is still very buggy and need to be improved.

  • Where is the glossary .xml file found

    Hi I was trying to locate the .xml file that populates the Glossary widget so that I could copy it and create my own editable .xml file to import.
    Can anyone tell me where I would find it?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Wow!  I just tried a quick few edits and I got the same thing.  Now I did stretch the glossary down and here is a screen shot of how mine turned out.
    Try doing that and see how it works for you.
    At least it allows the student to scroll down to very bottom.
    It almost seems like there are daily changes.....

  • RH8 deletes the glossary file (.GLO)

    Simple issue: I converted an RH7 WebHelp project to RH8. The glossary file became a zero-byte door stop.
    I close RH8, copy over a backup GLO file, open the project in RH8, make changes to the Glossary and can edit at will, close and open the project and the Glossary is still there...but, when I complile/publish the project, RH8 wipes out the GLO file.
    This also occurs if I use the Glossary Hotspot Wizard: I end up with a zero-byte file.
    (An ancillary issue is that the Glossary "Toolbar Button" does not show as an option in the WebHelp layout Properties page, and it is properly defined in the skin I am using).
    Any hints/help would be thoroughly appreciated...
    Here's something else I just discovered: any action that results in saving the GLO file zero-bytes the thing.

    Bear with me on this: I refined the issue to anything that causes RH8 to explicitly save the .GLO file.
    If a populated Glossary is available in the RH8 interface and no changes are made to the Glossary in RH8, then everything compiles and works fine. Any change to the Glossary in the RH8 interface, however, results in a zero-byte file when RH8 saves the change. I discovered I could use an external editor (e.g., UltraEdit) to make and save changes without getting RH8 all fluttered.
    Issue resolved, but there's an underlying problem -- likely a bug.

  • Populating the key figure in the Cube

    hi frineds,
         I need to populated the custom key fiugre added by me in the cube using the update rule. But if i see the tables of the cube it is seperate for every dimension and key figure. how can i select the particular record from the key figure table with out the reference of the dimensions table.
    Thanks
    Prem

    so you want to
    1. read particular record from cube
    2. populate the amount there.
    but populating the amount directly to infocube is not advisable and not feasible as well.
    my suggestion will be virtual infoprov based on transformation
    you will have to write your logic there and you can populate the amount based on billing number (you said you have amount against billing number).
    at query runtime based on transformation/logic your amount will be populated.
    only drawback reduced query performance

  • Populating the configurator !!

    HI All
    We have a requirement of
    Referencing the current product configuration from the Install Base and then populating it in Oracle Configurature , If any feature code is not populated due to any reason ,then we need to show those reason in the report .
    Do we have any stabdard API or concurrent program to this ??
    Or any program which does some part of the above requirement !??
    Pls help
    thanks
    naveen

    If you need to configure the Bill of Material, then you will need to create the ATO Model/Option BOM with Option Classes and Optional components. When you take the order, you place the order for the ATO Model and launch Configurator. If you do not import your model into Configurator Developer and publish the model, then you will get a very basic UI using only the Optional and Mutually Exclusive BOM Attributes. When you select your options, the selections will be visible as child lines on the sales order. After booking the order, you run AutoCreate Configuration Items to generate the shippable configuration item.
    If you need to "configure" your BOMs, then you will not be able to avoid this minimal setup listed above. However, your very specific requirement to "populate the complete BOM into my sales order line" intrigues me. I usually have just the opposite requirement. Usually my clients want to use configurator, but avoid populating the meaningless ATO BOM Components on the sales order line. It would be good if you could further expand the issue/requirement you are facing. Perhaps there is a different solution if we better understood.

  • Populating the custom segments for the Basic type attached to HRMD_A (IDOC)

    Hi,
    I've enhanced a few infotypes and want the new fields to be available in an IDOC created through the program RHALEINI.
    Here are the steps I followed.
    Step 1 :(we31)
    We created new segment Z1IT023 , containing all the fields from infotype 0023 along with the custom fields added.
    Step 2 :(we30)
    We created an extension of IDOC type HRMD_A07 by name HRMD_EX to include this segement.
    Step 3 :
    We added an entry in table EDIMSG against message type HRMD_A , with base type : HRMD_A07 , extension : HRMD_EX , version : 700
    Step4 :(we20)
    Now , we made changes to partner profile by adding entry for message type HRMD_A with base IDOC type as HRMD_A07 and extension as HRMD_EX
    Step5:
    We changed the entry in table T777D and specified the IDOC segment as Z1IT023.
    Step6.
    We then tried to execute the report RHALEINI to generate the IDOC. The IDOC got created, but it didn't have the data for the segment Z1IT023.
    In fact, there is a different solution to this... by adding the custom segment(containing nly the new infotype fields) as a child of the original segment E1P0023 and then writting code in the user-exit to populate the segment, but our intension is to have a single segment with all the infotype 0023 data. Besides, I believe in HR, making an entry in T777D should free us from writing any code for populating the IDOC segments.
    Can anybody please suggest me, where am I going wrong. How can the new segments be populated automatically.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sujit.
    Responses will be suitably rewarded.

    Hi,
    Did u get any exit to populate the custom segment?
    Thanks,

    you are using wrong client, login into client 800. check tcode SCC4 to check which client you want to log into.

  • Populating the output parameter in function module.

    Hi Experts,
       I have written a function module,with material number,BEZEI as input and mvgr2 as output from table tvm2t.I am facing a problem in populating the material number as well in outputtable.The material number in input is nothing to do with output.
    please help me at the earliest.
    Regards,
    Sridevi.

    Hmmm, you wrote that the output is 'table parameter' but you mention 2 single fields. If you expect a good reply here, it helps to mention how you defined the table and how you select the data for the output. For example: input is matnr and you select the material group of this matnr. Output is all other matnr of this material group. Then we would know what you want to do here.
    So please describe what you need and give us the table description.
    Regards

  • Populating the data tab field for the FM IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR

    HI
    I need to use the function module IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR .
    When i am populating the idoc data table i need to update the field sdata  for the segment E1LFA1M.
    What is the best way to populate the field .
    Is there a function module which  will get the import structure of the table LFA1into the the sdata field.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Check for the user exit of the idoc function module. You can check for - EXIT_SAPLKD02_001 & include -  zxvsvu04.

  • The Glossary creates a page per term... how to shorten?

    As I have been writing my book I have been adding terms to the Glossary but I have now tried printing the document for review and found that iBooks Author created a separate page for every term - to me this is not a workable result. Does anyone know how to abbreviate the Glossary when printing or exporting to PDF (same thing happens in PDF)?

    Hi Tuceef,
    Thanks for the response.
    I have created another hidden item P8_URL1 IN page 8 and
    I have created an on submit process in page processing section.
    the pl/sql code is
    Begin
    htp.p('<script type = "text/javascript">');
    function setLocation(href)
               // set the location path specified in the textbox.
               htp.p('location.href = document.getElementById(href).value;');
              htp.p('P8_URL1:= location.href');
    htp.p('</script>');
    end;But the code fetching the plain URL only,it's navigating to the empty form page when i click on the URL.
    Please correct the code if am wrong anywhere!
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramya.

  • Populating the data

    populating the data to the data base table .... which i created using only reports ...
    can any body tell the approach ....... if possible coding also plz help me out ..
    but using only general reports ..

    Are you talking about loading data to an internal table from a database table or poplulating a database table?
    If the former, the previous response is correct.
    If you are attempting to load data into a database table, there are a number of approaches, including CATT and BDC.
    I have frequently used BDC.
    Both approaches have the data initialing in a flat file, such as a tab-delimited file output from Excel with the data to be loaded into the table.
    The program then loads the data from the PC and creates a BDC session, which simulates data input into the appropriate transaction for updating the table in question.
    You can also use a more straightforward technique if you are loading a Z table that does not require the standard edit checking and control you get with CATT or BDC.
    Please clarify your request.
    Good luck

    Hi,
    Bottom line: The object name is already persist in ur back end DB.
    Login to ur back end schema and query,
    select * from all_objects where object_name like '<object name which ODI generate>%'
    Drop it manually and run the interface.
    Cause for the problem, initially u would have ran the same interface with different KM and opted DELETE_TEMPORARY_OBJECTS to False/ODI fails without dropping the temporary table, so ODI will keep the C$_<object name> in back end (may be in table form).
    Now, with DBLINK u are trying to create Synonym with the same name as the earlier object which eventually fails.
    Makes sense?
    Thanks,
    Guru

  • Business Functions of type Validation/Constraint not used when defined in the Glossary

    Hi,
    the problem is the following: in the Glossary, we have some Business Rules defined. They are of type Validation or Constraint and shall be used to validate the data in the system. These Business Rules are used in Domains in a CDM model.
    From that CDM model we are generating a PDM model (for HANA, but it's not working for any of the databases available for selection). Now: I would expect, as this has been defined in the CDM, the Business Rules replicated in the PDM model and used as constraints.
    This is unfortunately working only for Business Functions, which are directly defined in the CDM model, not for those ones, defined in the Glossary and reused in the CDM model.
    Working case:
    - define Business Rule in CDM
    - define Domain in CDM and assign Business Rule
    - assign the domain to a attribute
    - generate PDM from the CDM model
    - the Business Rule is replicated in the PDM model, the check constraint for the table is generated correctly
    NOT working case:
    - define Business Rule in Glossary
    - define Domain in CDM and assign the Business Rule from the Glossary
    - assign the domain to a attribute
    - generate PDM from the CDM model
    - the Business Rule is NOT replicated in the PDM model, the check constraint for the table is MISSING
    Do you think it's a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
    P.S.
    We are on 16.5 SP05
    Thanks,
    Rafal

    Looks like a bug to me; I would expect the source of the rule to be irrelevant, assuming the PDM has access to the relevant metadata at the time of generation. Perhaps Glossary shortcuts don't have access to all the metadata?
