Variants/Variables: what is the best practise in Paligo?

[Yvette Daniel]

I'm working on specs table at Paligo? What is the best practise on setting up my variables? I have 30 rows and hundreds of product models.

Is your problem that as you add variants the columns get narrower and narrower, and eventually become unusable?

I'd open a support request, that looks like a bug to me. Either a horizontal scroll bar should appear, or the table should be broken up into multiple pages.

To manage hundreds of variants, you'd really want a search tool so you could easily navigate to the one you need to change.

How do you publish your documents with multiple variants?
Can you combine multiple models?

[Robert Lauriston]

I'm not using variants. I'm documenting only one very complex product.

I do use profiling attributes to create internal-only and customer versions of the docs.

I don't know what you mean by models.

As described in the online help, you select the variable set in the Publish dialog.
