Filtering / Profiling

Abstract

Learn how to use filtering, also known as profiling, to control which content is included in your outputs. Find out what you can filter and how the filtering works.

Filtering is also known as "profiling" or "conditional content" and you can use it to include or exclude content depending on certain conditions. For example, you can set a topic to be included in your publication if the intended audience is beginners, but excluded if the audience is experts.

You can use filtering to include or exclude:

  • Entire topics in a publication

  • Elements in a topic, such as paragraphs, procedures, or steps in a list.

Filtering gives you more control over your content and can also give you more opportunities for your topics. For example, let's say that you have a topic that is almost ideal for reuse except that it contains one paragraph that is unsuitable. By filtering that paragraph, you can make the topic suitable for reuse, as you can include or exclude the paragraph when needed.

To get started, we recommend that you read How Filtering Works.
