Creating a Table of Contents

The table of contents for a Dossier report is created at run time. Therefore, you must specify the location of the table of contents in the document on the Arrange tab. If you do not specify a location, the system automatically prints the table of contents as the first page of the report. Click the appropriate option button in the TOC After column to indicate where to place the TOC. For example, if you want the TOC to appear after the title page, click the TOC After option button associated with the Title Page section.

When specifying the location of the table of contents, be aware of the following:

• On the Arrange tab, you can specify, at any time, which content section the TOC follows.
  • You can select the TOC After option button for the section the TOC will be placed after during the final build.
  • Pages before the table of contents will not be numbered automatically.
  • Pages before the table of contents will not include the header and footer. However, the header and footer will be included on the TOC pages.

    A section must be specified as TOC After; otherwise the TOC begins printing on the first page of the report

    If you remove a row specified as TOC After, the system removes the row from the build content. None of the remaining section will have TOC After specified.

    If you reinstate the removed section, TOC After will not be specified.

• The system generates the Table of Contents based on the order of the report sections when the final build is started.
  • Each section row is a new chapter.
  • The chapter name comes from the section name.
• The system creates Adobe Acrobat bookmarks for each section row of the report using the section name given by the user or the system.
• The system creates up to 10,000 bookmarks for each MedWatch, CIOMS, or VAERS form. If there are more than 10,000 forms, the system creates a single bookmark for all forms.
• The system generates and displays the TOC in portrait orientation.
