Additional Support Information for Folio Views 4.2

Differences Between Versions

HotDocs provides the same level of support for Folio Views 4.2 that was provided for Views 3.x in earlier versions of HotDocs. Developers who create templates with help links to Folio infobases should note the following:

• With Views 4.x versions prior to 4.2, most notably 4.11, a new instance of Views is started each time an infobase is accessed from within HotDocs. This is due to an error in Views that has been corrected in version 4.2.
• Views 4.x infobases cannot be opened in Views 3.x.
• Version 3.x infobases can be used with Views 4.2. However, Views 4.2 does not handle jump destinations passed by HotDocs correctly with 3.x infobases. The 3.x infobase comes up in Views 4.2, but Views does not move to the jump destination.

Command-Line Options

Two command-line options help you identify the version of infobase files distributed with HotDocs template sets. These options ensure that HotDocs looks for the correct version of Views to display the help files. The options operate as follows:

If a user may have both versions of Views installed, or if you want to make sure HotDocs does not attempt to open an infobase in the wrong version of Views, specify the infobase version by appending the correct command-line option following the Infobase file entry in the Resource tab. For example:

TCAHelp.nfo /v3

This file name identifies the infobase TCAHelp.nfo as a Views version 3.x infobase.
