How to Use the Help

You can use these options to navigate the help:

• The main menu at the top of the Help page. On small screens (such as mobile screens) use the icon (the "hamburger") to open the main contents panel.
• The local contents menu in each topic. This shows the topics close to the one you are currently looking at.
• The Search tool at the top of the page.

The online help is context sensitive. To open the help for a module, open the module and press F1. The Help will open at the section that deals with the current module. Use the menu to navigate to other help topics, or search for the topic you need.

What if F1 doesn't work?

If you cannot use the F1 shortcut to the Help from a module screen, you can use the F1 key to open the Help from the main menu and either navigate to the topic you want, or use the search function.
