Configuring Custom Help for JustWare

If your organization creates custom help files for your implementation of JustWare, you can access those help files from inside the application. JustWare's context-sensitive help system can be configured to point to custom help files instead of the standard help system, and you can provide a Help menu option to access the custom help as well.

Prepare Custom Help Files

JustWare can be configured to point to any URL for help, so you can create custom help files using the tool or method that meets your organization's needs.

To be context-sensitive (F1 brings up most relevant topic) the help files must contain an Alias or Index file that matches file names with ID numbers corresponding to a context-sensitive help ID for each snap-in in JWXML.

To find or change the context-sensitive help ID in JWXML, open JWXMLSpy from the Maintenance Console and browse to the desired session file. Within the <SnapIn> element, specify the contextid attribute (for example: contextid="300"). Either change it to the ID you want (which matches the ID for the file name of the corresponding topic in your custom help files) or make note of it and type that as the ID for your help topic in the Alias/Index file.

Once you have matched ID numbers between relevant snap-ins in JWXML and your Alias file, you can point the Custom Help URL to your help files.

A reference for context IDs to JustWare topics can be found at the end of this page.

Note

If the ID number found in the JWXML has no corresponding ID in the help files, the default home page for your help system will be displayed. It is recommended that you make this home page as helpful as possible to the user, including a brief table of contents and search capability.

Specify the Custom Help URL

To make custom help files accessible from JustWare, a Custom Help URL must be specified either during installation or in the Maintenance Console. With this URL set up, when users press F1 with focus on a particular snap-in in JustWare, the custom help topic with the corresponding ID will be opened. A Help menu option can also be displayed to allow access to custom help files from the Help menu.

  1. During installation of JustWare you will encounter a screen entitled Select Online Help Virtual Directory Path and Name. The Virtual Directory Path and Virtual Directory Name fields refer to the standard JustWare help system, and will be automatically populated. Do not change these fields.
  2. Use the fields below to configure your custom help system.
    • Custom Help URL: type the location of your custom help files. Include @[ContextID] in the URL to enable it to recognize context-sensitive ID's and direct the user to the relevant topic when F1 is pressed. The @[ContextID] will be replaced in the URL by whatever the Alias/Index file specifies as corresponding to the ID.
    • Show in Help menu as: To include an option in the Help menu to launch your custom help, type a name for it here. If this field is left blank, only the standard JustWare Help will be shown in the Help menu (although F1 will still point to your custom help).
    • Display standard JustWare help in menu: clear this check box to remove the standard JustWare help from the Help menu, or leave it selected to make it available. This option will be disabled unless you have specified a Custom Help URL.

OR

  1. Open the Maintenance Console and navigate to the SmartClients tab.
  2. Navigate to the Extra JustWare settings tab.
  3. In the Custom Help settings group, use the fields to configure your custom help system:
    • URL (should include @[ContextID] ) : specify the URL where your custom help files are located. Include @[ContextID] in the URL to enable it to recognize context-sensitive ID's and direct the user to the relevant topic when F1 is pressed. The @[ContextID] will be replaced in the URL by whatever the Alias/Index file specifies as corresponding to the ID.
    • Show in Help menu as: To include an option in the Help menu to launch your custom help, type a name for it here. If this field is left blank, only the standard JustWare Help will be shown in the Help menu (although F1 will still point to your custom help).
    • Display standard JustWare help in menu: clear this check box to remove the standard JustWare help from the Help menu, or leave it selected to make it available. This option will be disabled unless you have specified a Custom Help URL.
