Hi Henrik,

Are your documents structured or unstructured? Thanks.

Hi All,
I have a review problem. I have a user guide with hundreds and hundreds of topics like this:

Topic a
Topic b
Topic c
Topic d
etc....

Reviewer A should review topics a, c, etc.
Reviewer B should review topics a, b, d, etc.
 
Now I want to make it easier for the reviewers and I want to make a list of which topics to review, as all topics are not of interest to all reviewers. 
I want to auto-generate this list and hopefully this could be possible using the FM functionality of creating lists or indexes. The idea is that FM in some way can identify topic header on a ceratin page and list it under the correct heading/reviewer in the generated list or generated index. The review list should look something like this:

Reviewer A:
Topic a,  page 2
Topic c,  page 4
etc.

Reviewer B:
Topic a, page 2
Topic b, page 3
Topic d, page 5
etc. 

Reviewer A knows exactly which topics to review, etc.

Anyone tried this with FM? Is it possible? Do I have to look into scripting to solve this? I am pretty sure that you have to do some initial work by defining who should define each topic, (using markers?, conditional text?, variables?), but in the end I really would like this to be automated.

Best Regards
/Henrik
