OK

"outlines on captions".  Captions do not have outlines.  Rather there is a
"heading" (i.e., paragraph with outline level) that is prior to the caption.

And to be clear --- this index is NOT displaying captions.  The index displays
the "Name" that is assigned (in Properties) to Table, Frame, Image, OLE Object,
where the outline level of the immediately prior heading to the Table, Frame,
etc. is used to provide the index level for that name.

(Use case for this capability is unclear to me, but OP is only focused on an
accurate label.)

> But even if just badly implemented the heading is wrong for index. 
???  
Do you mean that the implementation should not use "heading" (outline level) to
assign index level?  
Or that the implemented behavior should not be described with heading?

> How about just "Use outline level" 
Because it does not indicate w

or "Use outline level from source"?

"source" is ambiguous -- 
plus given that each table, frame, etc. gets an index level depending on the
immediately prior heading, then "use outline level" does not indicate which
outline level is being used --  which is what lead me to:

"Use outline levels from document headings"

A more explicit and precise (but likely to be rejected) version:

"Index by outline level of immediately prior heading"

(there is plenty of room in the UI for this long label)
