Help Files


All Help Files have been moved from a CHM to an HTML format. Along with this, these Help Files are now located in the Cloud. This achieves a number of benefits:


    1. Updating of Help Documentation by Development-X can be more regularly accomplished. Amendments can be published without delay. 


    1. New functionality can be explained in an improved manner


    1. With previous versions of Ostendo where the Help Files were located on a Local Server or PC. In some high secure environments, the CHM files could be prevented from being launched. Now the documentation is online and available via a browser, there should not be any security issues.


    1. Under the menu option Help -> Release Notes, we now direct you to a Table of Contents of our Release Notes Help Files. This will allow users to easily find information relating to their current release along with some previous Major Releases.


    1. As with the Previous Help Files, screens directly linked to Help Topics can easily be accessed by the user by pressing 'F1' This will launch their browser and display the HTML Help Page relevant to the screen they are on. eg: Pressing F1 from the Items screen will launch the Item Help page from the Reference Help.


    1. The current Reference Help has not been finalised, therefore the current Ostendo Helps Files do not yet reflect Update 243 functionality
