Multiple tables of contents -- any updates?

I've searched the Pages help topic and came here look to see if I could find any help. I'm writing my dissertation in Pages, and I need to have multiple tables of content: one for the chapters, headings, sub-headings, etc., one for a list of figures, and one for a list of tables.
I found one thread on this topic that was already closed, and it looks like multiple tables of contents was not possible at that point. Are there any new updates or workarounds that would allow this feature?
I'd hoped to complete my entire dissertation in Pages but alas, it looks like I'll have to export it to Word and struggle with learning to to TOCs in Word. Bleah.

Karen,
Sorry to disappoint but you aren't going to easily achieve what you want with the current version of Pages. Hopefully a newer version will do this. You might want to experiment with NeoOffice in the meantime. It's free and IMHO a less of a struggle than Word.
In any event, concentrate on the content of your dissertation. When you have the text, the formatting will be a breeze no matter what applications you have at your disposal by then.
Good luck!

Multiple table of contents in one document

I would like to create multiple table of contents in one document. It would look something like the layout below. Each of the documents is a standalone FrameMaker file. Is this possible? I'm wracking my brain for ideas. Thank you!

lawrence,
Pages will only accommodate one TOC, I'm sorry to say. The others will have to be generated manually.

Multiple Table of Contents

I am using Captivate 5 and I am creating a course which will essentially contain 3 different version inside of it, I'm wonderign if it is possible to have multiple Tables of Contents within a single course?
Thanks!

I ran into a similar issue. Mine was a broad topic with "subchapters", for want of a better term. I wanted my users to be able to jump around within topics as needed and the simple TOC didn't cut it. Plus I had several slides during my simulation that were about 1 sec in length so I had several slides named "Cont." on the TOC...not very pretty. My workaround was to create my subchapters as separate projects and then pulled them all together in the aggregator. It wasn't perfect but it was close. I've added the ability to create sub-TOCs to the feature request page. Maybe I should bribe the Captivate developers with cookies???

Multiple table of contents in document

Hi there,
I'm new in FM8. I recently received a document in FM8. The structure of the document is as follows:
Every file of the document corresponds to a chapter. Each chapter contains a table of contents for its subheaders and paragraphs.
Table of contents (here are the chapter from 1 to 10, only the chapters)
Next is Chapter 1 which include a small table of contents with all subheads and paragraphs (e.g. 1.1, 1.1.1 and so on)
The same goes chapter 2 to 10.
That's not all.
Chapter 7, 8, 9 and 10 are placed in different folders coresponding with chapters title. The rest of them (chapter 1 to 6) are placed all in the same folder.
For chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10 I manage to update the second table of contents (which contains subheads and paragraphs - e.g. 1.1, 1.1.1 etc.)
In the main folder which contains rest of the chapters there are TOC files for the main Table of contents and for the subeahds and paragraohs contents corresponding to each chapter. Here I have problems with updating them because when I open the book and update it only the main TOC will be updated. The problem appears when I create PDF. Because after creating PDF when I click on a chapter name in the TOC it will bring me to the chapter I want but when I click on the TOC for subheads/paragraphs nothing happened, except for chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10.
So, to be more explicit.
When I click on chapter 7 in pdf, acrobat will send me to the chapter 7 where I find another TOC in wich if I click on subead 7.3 it will send me to the page that includes subhead 7.3. Instead if I click on chapter 4 it will bring me to the page coresponding for chapter 4 but there if I click on subhead 4.3 nothing will happen.
I will attach an example of that PDF.
The file structure looks like that:
Chapter 7 folder:
     - book
     - TOC file for chapter 7
     - chapter 7 (same structure goes for chapter 8, 9 and 10)
Project folder
     - book (it contains all files from chapter 1 to 10)
     - TOC file (the main TOC)
     - TOC files for chapters
     - chapters' files
Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.
Excuse my poor written english.
Trully yours,
Fagaras Codrut Sebastian

Hi,
if you got an FM book which contains separate TOCs for each chapter, it was most likely created using either
- the Systec TOOLBOX (http://www.systec-gmbh.com/en/sites/toolbox.php) or
- FrameScript (http://www.framescript.com/) with an itl script named "DocToc" (http://www.i-frame.itl.info/i-frame-base.html, website currently only available in German)
Without these solutions, you won't be able to comfortably handle a book like yours.
Regards,
Bernd

I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.

I'm using Framemaker 11 and I have two TOCs in my book: one in English and one in French. Each TOC links to different documents in the same book. The reference page for each TOC is set and correctly displays the heading 1 and 2 I've told it to display, but the numbers do not update when the content in my document files changes to a different page. I've checked the conditional text settings in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update Numbering, All Cross-References, All Text Insets, OLE Links, Generate Table of Contents, Lists, and Indexes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I just tested this out and saw the same result as Rick - a book with child books ignores all generated files within the child books. This applies to adding content from them (e.g. their titles) to actually including them in the output. This applies to all versions of FM since v.9!
However, there is a workaround for this. You need to use the hierarchical book structure in the parent book and create Folders for each book that you want to add. Then manually add the generated files (TOC, IX, List of..., etc.) and book to the respective folder. This is what it looks like for two child books in a parent book:
Note that the child book generated files (TOC, IOR) show as just regular files at this point in the parent book. To get the page numbering to be continuous throughout the parent book, you will need to make a couple of passes. First set folder, files and books to have the Numbering continue from the previous (if you want all sequential page numbers). This will set the page numbers correctly except for what they were in the respective book TOCs. You will need to use the starting page number of the child TOC files in each folder (it shows in the Book status bar when click on the TOC file in the master/parent book).
To set the individual book TOCs to be correct in the parent book, open the child book and set the TOC Numbering to start at the page stated in the parent book (status bar). Now update the child book to set the correct (parent book) page numbers in the child TOC. [This is a necessary manual step, as the page number assigned in the parent book is ignored when th child book is individually updated and FM uses 1 to start off the sequence in the child book.] Repeat for each child book in the master/parent book.
The final step is to Update the parent book and create the PDF. You should now have all of the files included in the PDF and the child TOCs should show the correct page numbers of the master book.
This whole process of books within books seems a bit borked and one shouldn't have to be jumping through hoops to include child generated files. Please report this as a bug via: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm

Table of Content Help - Anchored Objects/Listing Order

For the love of god this is extremely frustrating. I have been searching for literally hours trying to find the solution.
I have a large document, linked frames from page 1 through page 44 for example.
On many pages I have figures, and using an incrementing paragraph style, these figure captions are numbered sequentially.
When generating a table of contents, any figures that are in the main linked frames are created in the proper order.
My issue is that on a few pages, I have figures inside anchored objects - basically an anchored text frame with a picture and the figure label text using my paragraph style.
These anchored objects are not being put in the table of contents in the proper order - they are being added to the end of the toc! Indesign should be smart enough to add items on the page in the proper order - be it the main frame or an anchored one!
For example
Figure 1 - page 1
Figure 2 - page 1
Figure 3 - page 2
Figure 5 - Page 3
Figure 4 - Page 2 <<< huh?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

After looking at this a bit more, this may or may not work so we might need to get dirty on this one .....................
Some clues can be found here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/bip-bookbinding-176639.pdf
Looking at Page 7, it should be obvious that we can add additional deatils to the reports, including cover pages.
Though, after looking at Page 8, I think I may have you slightly in the wrong direction. toc-template appears to simply cover the commands for the table of contents and there is another template to control everything. But is that file visible to edit?
If you run FRConfig.cmd, you can find more clues.
Go to the MBeans tab, expand com.hyperion, then expand Financial Reporting, and Attributes.
The two attributes that immeidately jump out are TextPrintTemplate and BookTOCPrintTemplate
- TextPrintTemplate is the FR_TextTemplate.doc file in <<EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE>>/products/FinancialReporting/bin/ folder
- BookTOCPrintTemplate is the toc-template.rtf file previously discussed.
Once again, though, the other template exposed to us is most likely just driving the content and is not at a high enough definition level for this to work how you want it to.
I would say to use the example in the PDF and try adding that to the table of contents page before it does all of the loops. Perhaps it will work from there, perhaps not.
If that doesn't work, Thursday we can attempt to drill into this more.

Crystal Reports - ECC Tables - Row level security on Multiple tables

Hi Experts,
We are implementing Crystal Reports directly reporting on ECC Tables. Lot of information on row-level security has been provided by experts Ingo Hilgefort, Don Williamsand Mike Seblani, but not related to multiple tables or Wild cards
Requirement:
Crystal Users should have access to ALL the tables in ECC, but restricted by Company code, plant, Sales Organization, Purchasing Organization fields to what ever table it applies to. Example: MARC table should be restricted by Plant, BSEG table should be restricted by Plant and company code, GLT0 table should be restricted by Company code..etc
Users should ONLY see their Organization related data.
Solution Developed:
1. We created custom authorization object with BUKRS and WERKS
2. In /CRYSTAL/RLS we used Wild Cards *, + rather than specific table and referenced the custom authorization object with =BUKRS and =WERKS in the Field Value
3. Enabled global lock
4. Custom Authorization object was added to user-profiles with corresponding restrictions
*Observation:*
1. This security works when a crystal report was developed on a ECC table which has both BUKRS and WERKS
2. This setup DOES NOT work when a crystal report developed on a table with either one of BUKRS or WERKS
Example: Does not work on MARC table - error message "Database connection error: /CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE_QUERY Message: field T0~BUKRS" unknown"
Does not work on GLT0 table - error message "Database connection error: /CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE_QUERY Message: field T0~WERKS unknown"
Trouble Shooting:
In the "where clause" of the internal ABAP code generated for MARC, system is checking for BUKRS - which should not be the expected result
ANYTHING WRONG IN THE SECURITY SETUP ? PLEASE ADVICE
Note: Document "BusinessObjects XI Release 2, Integration Kit for SAP, Installation Guide" does not talk much about this multiple table restriction. Any other document to be referred to ?

I'm not sure how that would help; by using the Faculty_ID Session Variable I can identify the CRN and Term of all courses a faculty member is teaching. But I don't think that has to do with the problem I am having?

Want to update data in a view based on multiple tables

Hi
I am facing a problem i want to update data in tables using a view. As that view is based on multiple tables so i am unable to update data. i came to know we can update table from view only if view is based on single table. so if anyone knows any alternative please let me know.
Thanx
Devinder

Devinder,
The table can be updated through a view based on multiple tables, if and only if the table is a "key preserved" table. Rather than explaining myself, i avoided the burden of typing by finding the material in Oracle Docs and pasting it for you :-)
If you want a join view to be updatable, all of the following conditions must be
true:
1. The DML statement must affect only one table underlying the join.
2. For an INSERT statement, the view must not be created WITH CHECK
OPTION, and all columns into which values are inserted must come from a
key-preserved table. A key-preserved table in one for which every primary
key or unique key value in the base table is also unique in the join view.
3. For an UPDATE statement, all columns updated must be extracted from a
key-preserved table. If the view was created WITH CHECK OPTION, join
columns and columns taken from tables that are referenced more than once
in the view must be shielded from UPDATE.
4. For a DELETE statement, the join can have one and only one key-preserved
table. That table can appear more than once in the join, unless the view was
created WITH CHECK OPTION.

Table of Contents vanishes when trying to update or regenerate in CS6

I'm working with InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
This is an old, legacy document. Today, I needed to remove two pages, so of course, I need to update my table of contents and index. I had no problems with the index - it regenerated just fine. The TOC is another matter. I clicked Layout > Update Table of Contents. I got the message stating that the contents was updated. However, what actually happened was the TOC text vanished! And, it actually is gone because I can see two empty paragraph markers where the TOC used to be. I've tried regenerating it instead of doing the update. Same result - it's gone.
I'm still fairly new to InDesign, so I'm not sure what I can do to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like ID doesn't think there are any paragraphs with the style names you've selected for inclusion.
But I'm not a fan of direct conversion of legacy files because these sorts of things, or worse, happen a lot. Try this: Remove minor corruption by exporting

thank You

Dear SeánMacGC thanks for reply,
But "a.changed" is not a field in GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER_CHG. what i am doing in this procedure is i am collecting bulck data and validating field by field from GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER_CHG with GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER table as their structure is same.. if v_name is not same as v_name_chg then i am setting changed flag to "Y" changed is "changed dbms_sql.varchar2_table" and updating GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER in bluck where changed flag ='Y'...
type custRec is record
n_cust_ref_no dbms_sql.number_table,
v_name dbms_sql.varchar2_table,
v_name_chg dbms_sql.varchar2_table,
rowid rowidArray,
*changed dbms_sql.varchar2_table*
i cannot use simple SQL as i need to validate field for each records with GNMT_CUSTOMER_MASTER_CHG and insert into log file as well.....
to run this procedure:
execute DO_DC_NAME_UPDATE_OTHER_TAB.DO_NAME_UPDATE_OTHER_TAB;
Thanks...

How do I create multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one Pages document?

I'd like to have multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one document. This is useful for me because I'd like to have a TOC for the regular chapters, then a TOC for the procedures, then a TOC for the tables in the document (it's a tech manual that I am writing). How can I do this? Thanks for any help you can render, and have a nice day!

If you haven't used a paragraph style it can't create a TOC but you get the blue box with the message.
Paragraph used.
It has nothing to do if there is one main TOC or several smaller TOC to do.
It isn't true that you can only have one TOC in a document. Use styles for your titles and headings. I do and it works fine without section breaks.
You also need to tick which tile and heading you want in the TOCs in the Document Inspector > TOC
Did that.
Thanks to Yvan's quoting from the User Guide, I see where it says each TOC only indexes the material up until the next TOC. Since I had them follow each other, that is why they had no content.
Still it defeats the objective of indexing different material throughout the document if all you get is what is between the TOCs.

How to update a table of contents when the feature "update table of contents" is unavailable?

Hello folks,
I've been struggling all morning with this issue and am completely desperate.
First, some info:
- I am making a spanish versions of an english documents: everything in the original doc was then edited, including TOCs. What I got at first, was a first spanish document already filled with spanish content.
- I was not the primary creative of the document I'm workin on and am unable to get in touch with whoever that can be.
- My document is a 200 pages text only document, with 12 chapters and, at the beginning of each chapter, a specific TOC for that very chapter.
- Inside each chapter, there are only Sections and Subsections, no other style. Those are the two levels in the TOCs.
- There is also a General TOC at the beginning of the document: that one only shows the Chapter names and the page number where to locate them.
My problem:
- Somewhere along the way, from one doc to another, the TOCs stopped to update the page numbers automatically.
- Now I have sections and subsections that are shown in one page (for instance 204) but they actually are on page 135.
- When I try to update the TOCs, I stand on the TOC itself as I was told in many tutorials, but the "update table of contents" feature is unavailable, even in the main TOC at the very beginning of the doc.
It is like if I wasn't standing in the actual TOC, but there is no actual TOC anywhere that I could refer to.
What can I do? I am changing the wrong page numbers manually but, of course, that is not ideal... and it may become more and more tricky while I keep producing new documents each based on the previous one.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Warm regard from sunny Paris, France!

You've just confused me.
My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
OK, wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example, you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but also the doted tab."
I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

Best way to implement oracle TEXT on multiple tables with regular updates

Hi,
I have the following situation:
5 tables where we want full text search on multiple columns.
Some of the tables have a master/detail relation. (1 to 1000, or more)
because of the number of transactions on these tables we can't have a lag in the sync time.
Currently I have create a dummy table just for the search with 2 columns: for the primary key to all the other tables and one for the update trigger.
I use the user_datastore with a procedure to join all the necessary columns resulting in a clob.
My question is regarding the update.
Of course I can create triggers to update the dummy field in the search table, but this will give lot of updates on that table with possible locking issues.
What would be the best approach to have this search functionality working?
I am open for any ideas!
Thanks,
Edward

Ok, I will focus on building a solution on 12c.
right now I have used a USER_DATASTORE with a procedure to glue all the field together in one document.
This works fine for the search.
I have created a dummy table on which the index is created and also has an extra field which contains the key related to all the tables.
So, I have the following tables:
dummy_search
contracts
contract_ref
person_data
nac_data
and some other tables...
the current design is:
the index is on dummy_search.
When we update contracts table a trigger will update dummy_search.
same configuration for the other tables.
Now we see locking issues when having a lot of updates on these tables as the same time.
What is you advice for this situation?
Thanks,
Edward

What's the best way to insert/update thousands records in multiple tables

Insert/update multiple tables from one form.

I'm working on an app. that requires the user to fill out a form. The contents from the form is then used to either insert new records or update existing records in multiple tables. Is that possible? Can someone give a details example?

You should create a form like you would create it having one table. Use row_id as primary key. The rest of the process are done by the triggers - those will take care of updating the right table depending which column was hit.
