Auto Create TOC

I'm using Adobe RoboHelp 9.0.2.271. I'm using the Auto Create TOC feature but my table of contents is created in the manner the topics were added to the system, not alphabetically. According to "help", when I use this feature, it should be created according to the chapter layout defined in the Project Manager (copy / paste below from help).
Automatically create a table of contents based on the chapter layout defined in the Project Manager pod. If you automatically create a table of contents, books and pages are sorted alphabetically.
I have the A-->Z button selected in the Project Manager pod, and when I view the topics there, they are in alphabetical order but the TOC is not created in that manner.
Any ideas?

  • Can't auto-create TOC!

    Hi. I'm a noob with RH, and I'm following both our hastily-written internal instructions and the online Help for RH (both of which say basically the same thing in this case). TCS 1.0 on WinXP.
    I imported the FM book (right-click > Add FrameMaker File > By Reference). I did a bit of minor tweaking. Then I went to make the TOC. (I did not create it when I first imported the FM files.)
    I expanded the Table of Contents item in the Project Manager pod and double-clicked the existing TOC entry (named "<book> (Default)" where <book> is the name of the document). The TOC pod opens.
    At this point the Help says to click the "Auto-create TOC icon." I don't have that icon! There's one that looks very similar, but the tooltip says "Insert TOC Placeholder." That opens the "Insert TOC placeholder" dialog that doesn't seem to do anything. (Nothing happens when I click "View." There's nothing listed under "Used in following Table of Contents." And when I click OK it says "Cannot insert into same Table of Contents.")
    What the heck is going on? Why can't I create a TOC?

    This one should probably go into the Framemaker Integration section - usually you use the TCS to create the index and TOC over in FM and then pull them both into the RH project - that's the whole point to having the TCS. There's a nice conversion settings dialog that appears when you tell the project to go fetch the FM book.
    If you've gotten in this far and don't want to start another project, you're left with manually creating TOC entries and linking them to topics. Look for icons in the TOC pod that talk about adding topics or some such (sorry, I don't have my RH open right now). You'll have to browse to find the topic you want in the add new TOC entry.
    Hope that helps somewhat,
    Jeff

  • Auto Creating a TOC in RH8 (for FlashHelp) problem

    When I opened my RH8 project today and autocreated the TOC, all books disappeared except for the new one I created today. I painstakingly recreated the TOC with 10-12 books and contents, saved frequently, and regenerated the project, displayed it in Flash -- TOC displays OK.  However, when I use the Auto Create TOC option (deselecting the Delete Previous TOC checkbox), it creates a one-book TOC (the one book I added today).  Something seems to be broken with the auto-create TOC function.  Any clues?
    Thanks.

    Hi there
    Awfully hard to say what has happened here without seeing your project first hand. Are you using Folders to organize topics? Is the content purely HTML files or is it content that is linked to a Word document?

  • TOC using auto-generate TOC function in RH - wierd XREFs

    I am using TSC2 on an XP machine.
    I linked a FM file (not a book) and then used TOOLS, Auto-Create TOC. It does that just fine... but there are some topics named in the TOC as follows:
    XREF_1234_1.0_Name of Topic
    When I look at the project manager, although these are not topics, they are listed below the topics (sort of greyed out)
    When I go to that topic, there is a little flag icon which says its a bookmark. If I delete the flag icon then the topic names correctly... what am I deleting? What are those bookmarks? Is that a setting I can change somewhere?
    TIA,
    Adriana

    Hi Adriana.
    These bookmarks are being created because of something in your FM file. They could be bookmarks or some other element. Deleting them won't delete any content apart from the TOC entry so you are OK there. You can prevent having these by either removing the element from the FM file or manually creating the TOC. If the former, I can't say for sure what causes them without knowing more about your FM file.
    Read the RoboColum(n).

  • Auto create vs manual TOC

    Is there an easy way to change an auto generated TOC to a
    manually created one. I'm coming into a project that has the TOC in
    alpha order, but I want to change it to be more functional.

    Hi writerrh and welcome to our community
    As Leon correctly pointed out, you are free to rearrange your
    TOC as you like. But I'll also offer the following points that many
    seem to be confused about.
    * Just because you created a TOC automatically doesn't mean
    it's forever an automatically maintained TOC. Many folks have this
    mistaken belief. Think of it as a one time shot that instructs
    RoboHelp to gather together all the different topics and folders
    and create a TOC out of them. Once it's done, that's it. Adding
    topics later does not automatically include them in the TOC.
    * Some folks believe the TOC absolutely MUST have every topic
    referenced. This is seldom the case. You may have tons of topics
    that never see the light of day from the TOC.
    * Some folks believe deleting a topic from the TOC also
    deletes it from the project or causes it not to be included in the
    output. This is also a fallacy.
    Hopefully this helps a smidge... Rick

  • Create TOC from bookmarks without underlines in bookmark names?

    Here's the situation. I have added bookmarks to my topic files for the headings that I want to appear in the table of contents. I do an auto create of the TOC and the bookmarks appear in the table of contents. However, they have underlines in the text, for example, "User_mode" rather than "User mode." ("User mode" is the heading in the topic file.) When creating the bookmark, I understand that RH substitutes an underline for a space. But now how to do I get rid of the underlines in the TOC entries? I shouldn't have to manually edit these each time I create the TOC, right?
    Is there an easier way to have RH create the TOC for the headings in the topic files? Some kind of mapping perhaps?
    Thanks,
    fmh

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • PO CNV: Auto-Create POs from PUR Reqs generated by OM

    Objective: Convert open sales orders and maintain the link to the purchase order for back to back and drop shipment sales orders? 
    Question: Is it possible to convert the sales orders first.  Then run requisition import to create the purchase requisitions in the PO module.  After the requisition lines are created, convert the purchase orders through the open interface table or an API by auto-creating the PO from the requisition lines?  This would maintain the link between purchasing and order management.
    If this is not possible, does anyone have any suggestions?  Someone mentioned using BPAs (this assumes I can assign items to specific suppliers).
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    After creating a PR, why you want to go thru open interface.
    There is a standard functionality : AUTOCREATE, available , which will convert the PR to PO.
    On PO Shipment level, you can view the SO number & Line Number also.

  • Auto-create delivery for multiple sales orders

  • Auto Create service order from incoming email

    Hi,
    We have a requirement that we want to create service order with a default transaction type automatically from an incoming email. Also we want to route this service order to a specific service group on creation an above.
    How can we handle this? I know we can create a rule policy with an action to auto create a service order. My question is how do we set up that this service order is of a particular transaction type and has the default routing to the specific service group..
    Thanks
    Dan

    Hello Dan,
    You can specify the transaction type (for ERMS auto-created Service Orders/Tickets) via IMG configuration. In transaction CRMC_ERMS_SM_PROF you select the DEFAULT service manager profile and open the folder "Indirectly Called Services". Then you can specify the transaction type for each of the relevant service IDs: AH_CREATE_SO and AH_CREATE_SR.
    Best regards,
    John

  • Sound Icon Greyed Out - Midi AutoAggDevice auto-created

    Whenever I restart my computer or log out/back in, the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out. When I check the sound preferences in system preferences, it says that the output is: "AutoAggDevice". I gain back control after selecting "Internal Speakers". I have tried setting them as my default, but it always defaults to "AutoAggDevice".
    I have gone into the MIDI preferences (Audio Midi Setup) and there are many extra devices, but when I try and remove them, they come right back after a restart. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't affecting my default output, but it is getting really frustrating.
    I have also run a repair disk permissions to no avail.
    Does anyone know how to permanently delete these auto-created midi devices or at least get the default audio setting to stay as internal speakers?
    Thanks.

  • IPad Air - photo auto created in gallery issue

    Hi everyone!
    Not sure if anyone found this issue before, the identical photo has been auto created in gallery (iPad Air 7.1.1) many times. I never took the photo myself. it just looks like it came from the internet but I never saved. I wonder if this is a bug and how should i do to solve the issue.  Many thanks in advance !!

    It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
    Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
    When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
    iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
    Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

  • Auto create request by reading a row in MS SQL table?

    Auto create request by reading a row in MS SQL table?
    If all required data for a particular request type were included in a row of a MS SQL db table (staging table), could a request be created using a db adaptor?  Or is web services the only option to auto create a request?

    By definition, a DB adapter is part of ServiceLink and ServiceLink handles task-level integration, ie, it can externalize a task that's in a request that already exists. Web Services is the only option to create a new request.
