Filtering the Navigation view
You can learn how to filter the navigation view after reading this
topic.
About this task
In some documentation sets, topics might be tagged for particular
criteria, for example, when a topic is only associated with a specific operating
system. Under such circumstance, you can set filters to display only the topics
you want in the Navigation view.
You can set filter conditions by performing
the following steps:
- Click Filter (
) on the toolbar. You will see SetFilterwindow.
- Click Expand (
), and select the filtering options that match
your criteria.
- Click OK. The Navigation view refreshes
and displays the topics that match your selected filter settings. The Filter button
is highlighted to remind you that filter conditions are set.
Results
Notes: - If the documentation provider has turned off the filtering function for
the help system, the Filter icon (
) is not available.
- Any filter that you set only affects the display of topics in the Navigation
view and the actions like the quick print and quick search that you can take
in the Navigation view. The filters are not applied to any other views, such
as Index views, Search Results view, or Bookmarks views.
