The Multi-Project Register

To display this screen, select "Project | Multi-Project Register" from the menu. This feature is only available in the Corporate Edition.

On the left of the screen is a list of the slave projects that are registered with the current project. You can register up to 10 slave projects. Fast-Help needs to know about each slave project so that it can track changes and include these pages at compile time. To register a project, click on the [Add] button.

To remove a registered project, select it in the list and use the [Remove] button.

When you select a registered project you can see some information on the right, including the project name, the date it was added and the Folder path. The number of topics and popups that are available within the slave project and the number that are used within your master project, are also tracked, and are updated when you add or delete a referenced page.

Preferences

At the bottom of the screen is a [Show Preferences] button, when clicked, it reveals three options as follows:

Refresh Pages when opening this Project
When checked, as you open this project, it will go through each registered slave project and update any topics or popups that have changed.
Refresh Translated Pages when the Language is first Loaded
When checked, your translation language will be checked against any corresponding translations in the registered projects. This can delay the loading of your project, so it is generally unchecked, but if you are willing to wait then please check this option. Note that when you compile, the translation language will automatically update any referenced pages.
Notify me if a Referenced Project is unavailable
If this option is checked, then Fast-Help will verify if each registered project is available when you load the master project and you will be notified if the project is unavailable. You may want to turn this option off if you use mapped drive letters to point to remote locations that are not always available.
