# Generating Dynamic Document Outlines

The command to generate dynamic document (static document outlines not currently supported) outlines for an entire Expere repository lets you create outlines based on REQ files in a given source repository. This is a convenient method to generate outlines without having to open each REQ file individually in the Requirements Editor.

Using Customer Facing Outlines as an example, the syntax for the command looks like:

    CustomerFacingOutlines -HTML <REQ file directory> -output <output directory> -log <path to log file> -errorLog <path to error log file>

- -HTML is a parameter that creates an HTML output instead of PDF. If the parameter is not included, the standard PDF output is generated.
  Note: If a PDF output fails to generate for a given dynamic requirement document, the process will automatically generate the outline in HTML format
- <REQ file directory> is the file path of the Expere repository.
- <output directory> is the desired output file path for the document outlines.
- <path to log file> is the desired path for the outline build log file.
- <path to error log file> is the desired path for the outline build error log file.

Note: Be sure to update all content references in the repository to ensure the outlines are current.
