Create a Reltable

Create a basic table of related topics that link to each other.

When a topic relies on or is affected by another topic or set of topics, create a reltable to connect them. This is particularly useful if topics are located in different feature lists or product sections of the Help Center.
  1. Locate the ditamap you want to apply a reltable to.
  2. Open the ditamap.
  3. In the left navigation, right-click the ditamap.
  4. Mouse to Append element and select reltable.
  5. In the left navigation, expand the <reltable> and <relrow> elements.
  6. Click Open Library.
  7. Use the directory to locate the folder containing the topics you want to include in your reltable.
  8. Drag and drop topics into the appropriate <relcell>.
    • Drag concepts into the top <relcell>
    • Drag tasks into the middle <relcell>
    • Drag references into the bottom <relcell>
You've created a basic reltable. See Common Reltable Attributes to customize your reltable and ensure all topics relate to each other appropriately.
