This Help System is designed to open in your default Web browser. Since this Help System is called from a server, the speed at which it opens is dependant on your Internet connection speed.
The Online Help includes the following buttons: Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary buttons on the toolbar.
The Contents option displays the table of contents - books and pages that represent the categories of information in the online Help system. When you click a closed book, it opens to display its content (sub-books and pages). When you click an open book, it closes. When you click pages, you select topics to view in the right-hand pane.
The Index option displays a multi-level list of keywords and keyword phrases. These terms are associated with topics in the Help system and they are intended to direct you to specific topics according to your way of working. To open a topic in the right-hand pane associated with a keyword, click the keyword. If the keyword is used with more than one topic, a dialog opens so you can select a specific topic to view, then click Display.
When you type a question in this Help system's Search option, related topics are displayed that you can link to (this feature is called natural language search). You can type a question or simply type key words.
The Glossary option displays a glossary similar to one you'd find in a printed publication. It provides a list of words, short phrases, and their definitions related to the KCD application. When you select a term from the top pane ("Term"), its corresponding definition is displayed in the lower pane ("Definition").
Note: You can also view Glossary Terms within a Topic. Refer to the section "View a Glossary Term within a Topic". |
