Field-level Context-Sensitive Help
Hi, I need to create field-level CSH -- user clicks icon next to GUI field and a pop-up window displays the help. Question: How do I define the pop-up window in which the help appears?

Adding credentials to view specific HTML page
Hi,
Is it possible to allow the viewing of a specific topic (HTML page) in a published Web target by prompting the reader to enter a password?
Thanks
Mike

Re: Meta tag description -- required?
Thanks Dave for the explanation!
If I want the browser tab to also include our company name (for example, "Configuring Bots - MyCompany"), how would I do this?

Meta tag description -- required?
Hi I understand that web browsers automatically use H1 of HTML files (topics) as the meta tag description? Does this mean it would be superfluous to manually add a meta tag description per HTML file (I have over 1,000 topics!)? Another issue: The meta tag "title" doesn't seem to work. This...

Creating a Topic that Lists All Parameters
Hi,
I would like to add a topic that simply lists all configuration parameters. It would be very similar to an Index, but located within a chapter.
Is there an easy way to design it like an index page -- i.e., alphabetical grouping of the parameters ?
any ideas?

I have the same problem.
Imported a folder containing subfolders of HTML files - all imported correctly with regards to hierarchical structure of location of HTML files under their subfolders, but TOC is flat!
