Prefix Table

||
Pathagoras maintains a Table which maintains and displays the association of each registered prefix with a specific folder or glossary. By referencing this Table during document assembly sessions, Pathagoras can quickly access all clauses or documents which are named using the Prefix/Suffix Naming Convention.
The registered prefixes also allows the user to quickly and effortlessly locate any prefix/suffix named term with a simple press of <Alt-G>. Such 'mouseless assembly' is a hallmark feature of Pathagoras.
The Table is automatically augmented or modified:
| 1. | when you create a new book and choose to name the terms using the prefix/suffix style; or |
| 2. | when you assign a prefix to a book via the Document Assembly Setting screen ('Prefix' tab) and press the Assign Prefix button. |
| 3. | when you directly register a prefix using the Prefix Table screen (see below instructions for direct registration). |
Direct registration:
To register a prefix and associate it with a specific folder:
| 1. | Display the Utilities/Settings screen and click the All Settings button. |
| 2. | Click the Prefix Tables tab. |
This is the initial view of the Prefix Table screen:
From this screen, you can:
| • | drop down the list (1, above) to view all currently assigned prefix-to-folder (or prefix-to-glossary) designations and make changes as appropriate, or |
| • | type into the Prefix box (2, above) the 2 to 4 characters of the prefix. To pair up a folder or glossary to the prefix, click the Navigate to Source button (3, above). Follow the prompts. |
If a document bearing the desired prefix happens to be 'on-screen' (and you can easily make that 'happen', an additional button called 'Use folder of underlying document' will appear. Click it, if appropriate, to avoid having to navigate.
