About the Online Help

The Proliance Online Help provides you with information on how to use Proliance as well as step-by-step instructions on how to perform specific tasks. You can access help using the Table of Contents, Index or Search tabs. If these tabs are not displayed, click Show, which is located at the top left corner of the Online Help.

Navigation Buttons

Proliance online help offers the following panes. To access each pane, click the Contents, Index, Search, or Glossary on the toolbar. If your Internet security options disabled the active content in the Help, choose to "Allow Blocked Content". This will display the complete toolbar.

• Contents:The books and topics in the Contents pane are grouped and organized by service. To help you quickly locate the topics, they are listed in alphabetical order. Click on each book to display related topic links and click on each topic link to display the content of the topic on the right pane.
• Index:Enter in the space provided a keyword that describes the feature that you want to perform a task on. For example, if you need help on how to create an RFI document, type "RFI". Locate the subkeyword that matches your task. In this example, it would be "creating". Click on this subkeyword to display the topic on the right pane.
• Search:When you enter a word or phrase in the Search tab, Proliance searches the contents of your topics to find all occurrences of that word or phrase. For example, if you need to find a topic on how to delete RFIs, type "delete RFI". Proliance displays all the topics that contain both "delete" and "RFI" keywords. This is a useful way to find all topics that contain every instance of a concept or feature in Proliance.

Basic Rules for Full-Text Search

• Glossary:The Glossary contains a list of Proliance terms. When you select a term from the top pane ("Term"), its corresponding definition is displayed in the lower pane ("Definition").

• Print:Click this button to print the topic that you are currently viewing. Note that this topic is printed exactly how it is displayed on your screen. To ensure any collapsed text is printed, click Show/Hide All before you print the topic.

• Full-text search:The Search input field enables you to perform a full-text search of the Help system. This type of search locates topics containing the text you enter in the Search field. Full-text searches look through every word in the online Help to find matches. When the search is completed, a list of topics is displayed so you can select a specific topic to view.
  To perform a full-text search, type a word or phrase in the -Search- box in the toolbar and click the Search button or press Enter.
