You can use filters to limit the content that is displayed in the information center.
Before you begin
If the documentation provider has turned off filtering for the information center, the
Filter button (

) is not available.
About this task
In some documentation sets, topics might be tagged for particular criteria, for example, when a topic is associated only with a specific operating system. Under such circumstances, you can set filters to display only the topics you want.
To set a filter:
Procedure
- Click Filter (
) on the toolbar. The SetFilter window opens.
- Click Expand (
), and select the filtering options that match your criteria.
- Click OK.
Results
The navigation tree refreshes and displays the topics that match the filter settings that you selected. The
Filter button is highlighted to remind you that filter conditions are set.
Notes: - Any filter that you set affects only the display of topics in the Contents view and actions such as the quick print and quick search, which you can take in the Contents view. The filters are not applied to any other views, such as the Index view, the Search Results view, or the Bookmarks view.
- Topics that have been excluded because they do not meet your filter criteria are not displayed in the navigation tree when you synchronize your display.
