Navigating Through Help
13
Using the Contents Tab
The Contents tab of the help
viewer displays folders and pages
that represent the categories of
information in the online Help
system. The Contents tab is the
tab displayed when you click on
the book icon.
The "lollipop"-like symbol next to
folders that have subfolders
indicates whether its contents are
displayed. When the "stick" of the
"lollipop" is pointing to the folder,
then the contents are NOT
displayed (or in other words, the
folder is "collapsed"). When the
"stick" is pointing down, the
contents are displayed (or, in other
words, the folder is "expanded").
14
Using the Index Tab
The Index tab displays a multi-level list of keywords and
keyword phrases. These terms are associated with topics in
the Help system. Keywords are often cross-referenced with
synonyms to provide multiple ways to locate information.
15
Using the Search Tab
The Search tab enables you to search for words in the Help system,
no matter where they are in the topic.
To do a search, enter the text in the Find text box and press the
Enter key.
16
How to Access Web Based Tools
Web Based Tools are accessed via the DMI-Services
