Customizing your Automatically Generated Context ID Numbers

In some cases, like modular Help applications, you may want to customize your Context Ids to start at a specific number. You can do this using the MapNumberOffset property. When set, Doc-To-Help adds the value associated with this property with the automatically generated Context ID to create a customized number series.

1.   On the Icon bar, click Project.

2.   Select Project Settings from the left pane.

3.   From the property pane, set the MapNumberOffset property to the value you want to use for your automatic Context IDs.

4.   Rebuild your Help Project.

Note that your automatically generated context IDs have the MapNumberOffset value added to the context ID number.
