Let's say I am a contributor that wants to have a new topic added to a project.

So I create a new topic in Contributor but then realize that within my new topic, I want to create a cross reference to an existing topic within the project.

What do I need have to have in order for me to be able to ...

Interesting approach, Choccie.

The business users are conflicted on what they want.

I've been thinking about "requiring" the use of annotations, when a change is made to a topic, using the annotation as a "source" of Historical content, i.e. receive the revised topic (with track changes on) and ...

The requirements that our business would like to see implemented in Flare publications is fairly straight forward (from the business perspective), but from a Flare implementation, there are some challenges.

Hi,

Would you create a variable for each individual and place it in the snippet, in case the individual may be identified in multiple support groups?

Hi,

Looking for some implementation suggestions for a requirement that I have to implement.

I have several groups of individuals who support different facets of our business. Each group has a small list of individuals that contain person name, phone number, and specialty area. On occasion ...

Hi,

I'm still pretty new to Flare and CSS.

I created some cross references to topics with a poor choice of words - e.g."Step 1" rather than a more meaningful value, like "Add Customer"

I would like to rename the cross reference value to the more meaningful value, but for some reason, the value ...

Hi,

First, if there is a "Concept" added to a topic, they would like the "Concept" control to be on the upper right corner of the topic.

Jim P.

Don't think that top navigation is going to satisfy the requirement. Concepts appear on specific topics.

My challenge is getting the "concept ...

Hi,

I'm relatively new with Flare.

I have a user community that has a couple of HTML requirements that I am having difficulty with.

First, if there is a "Concept" added to a topic, they would like the "Concept" control to be on the upper right corner of the topic.

Secondly, they would like to ...

I am extremely new at Flare and Styles.....

I don't understand what the bulleted list options do in Flare

I have a MasterPage question.

I have a Flare site that is made up of two major topics (two separate word imports) and many, many lower level topics in each major topic.

I set up a sample word document with H1, H2, and H3 as well as a Word TOC and imported the document using several different import settings.

I can not seem to get the results that you indicated.

Appreciate your time.

Thanks.

Sorry for not performing thorough research before posting.

Having trouble with Flare and Git.

I am able to bind my Flare project to a local implementation of Git without any problem, but I'm having difficulty binding a project to a remote repository.

Hi,

I have a question about file creation from a single word document.

My word documents contain H1, H2, and H3 styles which I want to use to cause Flare to generate a "new topic" for each H1, H2, or H3 detected.

When Flare imports my word document, it uses the name of the topic for the file name ...

I have a couple of questions regarding Glossaries in Flare.

1) In the project organizer, one can add a folder to the Glossaries. Can someone describer the benefit(s) of this ability?

2) I could not find the reference, but assume that if you have multiple glossaries defined and enables in the ...

I am seeing some unusual behavior when importing word documents.

First example is a word document that has H1, H2, and H3 styles.
H1 - Topic 1
H2 - Topic 2
H3 - Topic 3
H3 - Topic 4

Flare generates two documents on import
Topic1.htm - containing Topic 1, 2 and 3
Topic4.htm

Second example is a ...

We are using Flare for a variety of purposes and have decided to manage the content and publication using separate projects.

One of the drawbacks of creating separate projects is that the search capability only works within the project, or at least that is the way it appears to work for us.

Is ...
