Hello all,

Is it possible to set-up multiple DISTINCT glossaries?

I would like to set-up a Technical Glossary and a Business Glossary rather than One Big Glossary.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks

Sure - In your Project Organizer, right-click the Glossaries folder, and then select Add Glossary. Name it Technical, or whatever,
and then add your glossary terms and such. You can designate a specific glossary in your target's Glossary tab.

Let's say I have two glossaries, Glossary A and Glossary B. Can I publish Glossary A on Topic page A, and Glossary B on Topic page B? Or, am I restricted to only one Glossary per publishing target?

Thanks

This can be done using different conditions.

• Create topic A and topic B.

• Create glossary A and glossary B and fill them with specific terms.

• Create condition A and condition B.

• Open topic A.

• Insert Proxy > Glossary proxy.

• Mark the proxy with condition A.

• Repeat for topic B using glossary B and condition B.

• Set the target to include condition A and B.

• Optional: In the target properties > Advanced > Glossary, deactivate "Generate glossary proxy".

I am not sure if there's a simpler way, but that's how I would do it, and it works.

I use conditions as well for things like this. I have multiple glossaries and each term is conditioned. Then you include or exclude terms.
