idea Improve the on-line help in three ways in Developers Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-ideas/improve-the-on-line-help-in-three-ways/idi-p/955095 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>1) It would be nice to be able to more quickly find help on ArcObject interfaces in the on-line help. When you search for an interface by exact name the first item found would be that interface. For example when searching for the IFeature Interface the first returned item would be the Geodatabase namespace - IFeature Interface and not a bunch of IFeature examples and other content. <BR /><BR />2) Provide more search options to limit the returned results. Currently the on-line help searchs all area's. It would be nice to be able to limit the search results to your area of interest. For example ArcGIS Desktop .Net instead of returning results for ArcGIS Engine and other development languages like java. Currently I find myself adding "-java" to all my search results. The ability to save your search preferences would be an added bonus.<BR /><BR />3) Eliminate the duplicate entries. Often my search results are returned with duplicate results. Sometimes I have seen as many as four identical results.<BR /> <!-- content transformation source ID: 0873000000087Bu --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 02 Apr 2010 15:52:46 GMT GregRieck 2010-04-02T15:52:46Z Improve the on-line help in three ways https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-ideas/improve-the-on-line-help-in-three-ways/idi-p/955095 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>1) It would be nice to be able to more quickly find help on ArcObject interfaces in the on-line help.

Copying the content into the style of the other ArcGIS documentation would make it significantly easier to consume.</P><P></P><P><IMG alt="Screenshot of ArcObjects Help" class="jive-emoji image-1 jive-image j-img-original" src="/legacyfs/online/508511_ArcObjects Help.png" /></P><P></P><P><IMG alt="Screenshot of ArcGIS Pro Help" class="jive-emoji jive-image image-2 j-img-original" src="/legacyfs/online/508512_ArcGIS Pro Help.png" /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 24 Sep 2020 17:42:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-ideas/improve-the-on-line-help-in-three-ways/idc-p/955096#M563 LaurenWinkler 2020-09-24T17:42:58Z
