The Table of Contents section in the Properties dialog box lets you choose to include and modify a table of contents in an exported PDF. These are the options:
Include Table of Contents: A table of contents allows a user to quickly access specific areas of the PDF. In the exported PDF, users can click on a label or page number in the table of contents to jump to that area. An entry is automatically created in the table of contents for each element of each grouping field and, if the document contains multiple layouts, each layout. (For example, if the grouping field is Regions, elements include North and South.) For details and steps, see Including interactive table of contents in PDFs.
You can create a table of contents only if a document has multiple layouts and/or is grouped. Tables of contents are displayed in the exported PDF in MicroStrategy Web and PDF View in Desktop.
The table of contents is included in the PDF as the first page, unless you choose to display it before a layout that appears later in the document.
If the PDF has bookmarks, the table of contents is listed in the bookmark panel. If a PDF includes a table of contents, the bookmarks may be redundant. For instructions on preventing bookmarks from being generated for a PDF, see Working with bookmarks in PDFs.
Before layout: If the document contains multiple layouts, the Before layout drop-down list is available. By default, the table of contents is displayed before the first layout, but you can select a different layout from the list.
Title: To display a title for the table of contents, enter the text in the field. If the Title field is blank, the table of contents entries start at the top of the page, without a title above them.
Font: To format the font, click the Format icon. The Font Formatting dialog box opens. You can select the font, size, color, and so on. Click OK when you have made your selections. A preview of your selected font formatting is shown in the Sample area.
Show tab leader: By default, tab leaders are shown. Tab leaders are a series of dots connecting the table of contents entry with the page number. Tab leaders can help users accurately select the correct entry or page number. To disable them, clear the Show tab leader check box.
