Organizing Snippets

[Pat4]

I am using RoboHelp 7 to provide curriculum for about 150 job roles many of which share common learning topics. I recently doscovered Snippets (tahnks to Rick on this forum) and thought they would be a good approach to reusing content common to multiple roles.

Is there a way to organize snippets? I could have hundreds of them and being able to have some sort of method to group them in folders or something like that would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi Pat - The answer appears to be no. You can organize them by giving them similar names and moving them up & down on the snippets pod, but can't place them in folders. Sounds like a good one for the Adobe Suggestions box though at: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=5

I will do that, thank you for the help and suggestion.

Hi Esch

Slight amendment to your link there.

You can think of it from another direction, though. Rather than creating multiple topics to suit the needs of each audience and inserting the same snippet in each one, how about using conditional build tags?

With build tags, as you create a topic, assign build tags to the topic content that is audience-specific. Then, compile or generate/publish the project using build expressions to include / exclude the content as appropriate.

Just a thought - another way to get to where you want to be...
