Customizable view and menu help

In addition to the Web User Interface help provided with the CICSPlex® SM Web User Interface, you can create help that is tailored to your customized views and menus, and that provides information relevant to your business procedures.

The help text may be in your national language and might include, for example, site-specific contact names and telephone numbers, or special procedures. You can create your customizable view and menu help in a number of ways. For example:
  • You can edit HTML using a text editor or an HTML editor.
  • You can export it from a word processor.
  • You can link to a server that provides access to a database via a Web browser, for example, Lotus Domino.

The help pages can be served either by the Web User Interface server or by an external server.

You can use the View Editor to include a link to the customizable view and menu help when you create a view. The options are:
  • Default view-specific help.
  • Member name of a help page to be served by the Web User Interface from DFHHTML.
  • URL of an external help page to be served by another HTTP server. The external help page should not target the Web User Interface server.
