Cleaning up table of contents and navigation in RoadTest Reviews

cstanton

Hello,

We've realised that there's some duplication with tables of contents, particularly when it comes to RoadTest Reviews, and with our new Project Articles ( Ho-Ho-Hold on a minute, is that a blog? A new way to submit your project! ).

Verint, as a platform, has a way of inserting 'tables of contents' like this:

But there are problems with its formatting and how it works. For RoadTest Reviews as an example, we have an automatic generation of a table of contents which can look like this:

This helps to separate the content from the contents list when listing the content on Google, sharing on social media, etc. So we use this method in RoadTest Reviews and Project Articles.

Because we have this, it means that it's a duplicate of the 'insert table of contents' and you can end up with a heading of "table of contents" in this new list, and it becomes a bit cumbersome and confusing, it doesn't make sense to have both. 

So ultimately, we won't.

For Project Articles and RoadTest Reviews we're removing the ability to insert the table of contents from the menu.

Instead? Use headings, marked with the <hx> tags, where 'x' is a number. A lot of members already do this, but I realised we haven't actually pointed this out anywhere.

You can find heading formatting under the Format menu:

These menus should always be visible when using the Community from a laptop or desktop, maybe even a tablet. It may not always be visible when using a mobile device.

Thanks for reading!

  • Hi Christopher,

    This isn't directly related, but I really think it's important to raise it here too, since it does affect tutorials and roadtests a lot:

    Any chance we can have a few more styles added for inset types of messages? For instance, Note and Warning boxes are useful. Even a single style for inset content would be awesome, called 'Alert' style perhaps. I think it will really help some types of content.

    The screenshot below shows another example of a Note box.

    Also, if the code box font size perhaps could be increased by a point or two (or for it to respond to the text size option in the Editor toolbar, so that the author can size it appropriate to the type of content that is in there), that would look a lot better I think (it feels a bit too small currently). The code in the screenshot below looks more readable.

    The code in the screenshot above looks more readable/similar sized to the body text, than in the screenshot below. Also, the code block below looks incomplete without a border and copy button, like in the screenshot above,

    I know these are quite cosmetic tweaks, but as mentioned the site is behaving well, so even the developers may like to work on the fun artistic/cosmetic stuff for a while, instead of bugs hehe  : )

    Also, the only e-mail notifications I'm getting to this forum post are for comments I write. I'm seeing no notifications to e-mail when anyone else comments. I know this is in Verint's pile but in the meantime if there was a way to change that Reply button to Reply & Subscribe that would be awesome. I actually can't see where I should click to subscribe for e-mail alerts:
