The creation of Employee Care 3 can be likened to updating the help for a new release of software or a knowledge base, it takes what was there before and updates the content.
The Employee Care project is the knowledge base of the fictional US company, Whirl the World, a global travel company with subsidiaries in Canada and the UK.
In Employee Care 1 for RoboHelp 10, the project used Content Categories so that users in different countries could select from all the content or just from the topics relevant to their country.
In Employee Care 2 for RoboHelp 11, Whirl the World decided to only provide online help for US users with special topics for users in other countries being produced in printed format.
In Employee Care 3 for RoboHelp (2015 Version) , Whirl the Word have backtracked and decided that online content is required specific to a user's country. However, instead of providing this using Content Categories they want to create one output and allow users to apply the new Dynamic Content Filtering.
Many of the topics are substantially the same for employees in each country. However, there are some differences because of the way the company operates in each country and because of legislation. Sick Pay in the UK is dealt with in a different way because of UK legislation so the Company Sick Pay topic has different content for employees in the UK. Also UK employees may be eligible for a company car under their employment contract and that topic will only be available to UK users.
Tips and explanations will be indicated with the tip image shown above.
Most source topics will display cross hatching behind the text showing that a conditional build tag has been applied so that the tip does not appear in the output.
Some of the tips need to be in the output. They will be "hidden" by using DHTML Dropdowns. Only the icon will show in the output to minimize distraction and you will need to click the icon to reveal the information. In the Design Editor, double click the icon to see the content.
