WINDOW HELP

Window HELP gives a brief description of each field found on a particular window. Windows HELP is available for most windows and is being added for more windows all of the time. If no HELP topic is available yet for a window, a message to that effect will display after you select the HELP button.

‘HOW TO’ HELP

‘HOW TO’ HELP gives step by step instruction on how to complete a particular task or process on N-FOCUS. It also contains tips for completing processes if problems have been identified and communicated via release notes.

POLICY HELP

Policy HELP contains the on-line policy manuals.

 After selecting Windows, How To or Policy HELP, you may either select a topic from the table of contents on the left side of the window OR select the SEARCH tab to search for a particular word. When the Search tab is selected, type in the word then select the List Topics button. All topics which match will be displayed. Highlight the topic and select the Display button or double click on the topic to have it displayed on the right side. The Index tab can also be selected which will list all topics in alphabetical order. To view a topic from the Index tab, double click on it so it will display on the right side.

  2. After the text is highlighted, right click with the mouse to bring up a menu list and select Copy.
  3. Go to the document where the text is to be copied and right click with the mouse again and select Paste.
