Insert a TOC

You can insert a TOC in an element for the contents of the element.

When adding a TOC to a tree element, the TOC name inherits the name of the element on which it was placed. This name is used to create the file name of the generated TOC.

Note: If a TOC is placed on an element that includes a special character in its name (/ \ : * ? < > |), you must edit and update the TOC name so that it does not include special characters, otherwise it will not generate.
To insert a TOC:
  1. In the assembly, right-click the element where you want to insert the TOC and choose Mass Insert/Update Publishing Elements.
  2. In the Mass Insert/Update Elements window, select Table of Contents.
  3. Select one or more elements where you want to insert a TOC:
    • For this Element - inserts a TOC for the selected assembly element
    • Volumes - inserts a TOC for each volume in the assembly
    • Folders - inserts a TOC for each folder in the assembly
    • Leaf Elements - inserts a TOC for each leaf element in the assembly
    • Documents - inserts a TOC for each assigned document and document placeholder in the assembly
    • Page Markers - inserts a TOC for each volume break in assigned documents
  4. In the Publishing Setting list, leave the Use Default setting, or choose an alternative TOC setting (if other TOC settings have been created in the PLT).
  5. To set the Range Start option, select Entity and click Browse to specify the location in the Current Assembly to start the range of the new TOC.
  6. Click Insert.
    A message prompts you to confirm the insertion.
  7. Click OK.
    For each element where a TOC has been inserted, the TOC icon appears in the assembly tree.
