Filtering "search" for IVF

With the new IVF integrations for 11.1.035, the help is more "streamlined" with VS help. However, I am doing something wrong when using the "search" limited to IVF. I kept only "Intel" checked in all three fileds: Language, Technology, and Content Type, still I don't get anything specific to IVF at all! for example, search for interface gives help relevant to C#.

I must be missing a step or two here. Any hints?

I recently worked through exactly this problem. IVF Fortran help content is apparently no longer set up by default as part of the IVF integration into VS, and a little easter-egg hunt is required.

The selection steps you mentioned are correct. Next, select from the main VS menu Help -> IVF Compiler Pro -> IVF Compiler help. This will bring up an "IVF Start Here" intro page, with a right-hand "Contents" pane which allows you to select a content filtering context to be associated with the F1 help key: select "Intel". The three selections of "Intel" noted in your post only served to add the "Intel" option to this context-selection menu; now you can actually select "Intel" content. Thereafter, pressing the standard F1 key will bring up dynamic Fortran help info for any F90 keyword under the cursor.

Indded, I find that after doing the selection steps, I can simply go back to VS menu--> Help --> IVF Fortran Compiler Help and there it is!

Many thanks Paul!
