Reltable Tips and Tricks

Problems and Solutions:

Related topics of the same type (concept, task, reference) are not displaying in each other.
  • Add collection-type="family" to the <relcell>.
I want Topic A to show as a related link on Topic B, but I don't want Topic B to show on Topic A.
  • Add linking="targetonly" to the <topicref> for Topic A.
I want the related topics to show on Topic A, but I don't want Topic A to show on the related topics.
  • Add linking="sourceonly" to the <topicref> for Topic A.
A related topic from one product is showing up in another product. / I see duplicate related topics.
  • Add product="<product_name>" to the <topicref>.
A group of related topics from one product is showing up in another product.
  • Add product="<product_name>" to the <relrow>.
An employee-only topic is showing up in the related topics (which breaks the link when not logged in).
  • Add audience="employee" to the <topicref> in the reltable, just like you did in the map.
The same topic (for the same product) is showing up in the related topics.
  • Check the link on the topic itself. If it's included in multiple conflicting maps, change or remove one of the references.

Remember:

  • You cannot filter the same topic for multiple products in the same reltable. Instead, add a reltable in each product map and filter the topic there.
  • Employee-only topics are not automatically filtered on the reltable level. You must filter them just like you do in the map.
