Help / Documentation

Post by [email protected] »

Hi Support Team

In case I search for example ABORTONERROR in the help index the displayed page is "Access Control (Advanced Options)" (the very first item in the index).

It would be more useful to get the "Pre-Defined Variables" page displayed.

Would you mind to consider to add any of the pre-defined (compiler) variables to the help index?

Best regards
Michael

Dear Michael,

please use SEARCH with the IA documentation. You will see that "Pre-Defined Variables" will be the first result.

Dear Francesco,

You're of course right. But if I need to use full text search in order to find anything about things like the commonly used variable TARGETDIR then I should never again use Index Search... What will that then be good for ?

My post was just a proposal to improve the quality of the doc and the user experience because I estimate just little efforts to add some dozen key words to an index by copy and paste (assuming you are creating your help file with Help and Manual ;-)).

Best regards
Michael
