How to add a marker link to the index hierarchy

Use the following procedure to add a marker link to the index hierarchy of the Information Console help system.

1	Navigate to the document root directory. Open the content file that contains the anchor to which the index entry will link. Determine the value of the name attribute for the anchor. Then, close the content file without saving it.

2	Navigate to the <document root>\wwhdata\common directory.

3	In a text editor, open the files.js file and determine the internal file array number for the content file that you opened in step 1. Close files.js without saving it.

4	Navigate to the <document root>\wwhdata\js directory.

5	In a text editor, open the index.js file.

6	Add an entry to index.js for the index entry and anchor link using the following format:

var B=A.fA("QBE expressions",new Array("3#394929"));

n	var is a keyword that must precede the entry if B has not been defined as a variable in this file prior to this line. Do not use var if B has already been defined.

n	B is the index hierarchy level of the new index entry.

n	A is the index hierarchy level above the level of the new index entry.

n	''QBE expressions'' is the string to display in the index for this entry.

n	3 is the array number of the target file established in step 3.

n	#394929 is a number sign (#) followed by the value of the name attribute for the anchor established in step 1.

To link the index entry to more than one marker, add each marker link to the list within the new Array parameters. Enclose each anchor reference in quotation marks. Delimit the anchor references with commas, shown in the following example:

var B=A.fA("QBE expressions",new Array("3#394929","3#394380","3#394677"));

7	Save and close index.js.
