Open web help on a specific page

Unread post by Ed Hawco »

This might be a silly question, but is there a (relatively easy) way to specify what page the web help opens on when it's being called from a non-topic-specific URL? As in, when it's just loading from the base URL, can you specify which topic appears, or is it always the topic at the top of the TOC?

Hi Ed,

Yes, it is called the "Default Topic" or "Home Topic".

Go to Configuration > Common Properties > Language Settings. Select the required topic in the drop-down list under Default (Home) topic.

I have never understood why that is under Language Settings, it's not the obvious place to look. This world is a mysterious place. :)

Martin.

Thanks Martin! I was pretty sure there was a setting for that, but I couldn't find it when I went looking.
