Implementation Steps: Help Customization

You can supplement the supplied help system by adding your own custom help files, for example to document specific procedures, statuses, or descriptive flexfields at your site.

Attention: The Oracle Application CD contains the source files for the supplied help system. In principle, you can edit these files and recompile them to create a customized help system. However, your changes will be lost when you upgrade to a new release of Oracle Training Administration.

We therefore recommend that you put all your additional help text in the custom help files.

Step 59 Create Custom Help Files

On the Contents page (or "Home" page) of the Oracle Training Administration Help there is a hypertext link called "Custom Help". This opens a separate help file called OTACUST.HLP. The supplied version of this file is a dummy that you can replace with your own help file.

To create your own help file you need a text editor, such as Microsoft Word, that allows you to save files in RTF format. You also need a Windows PC with a copy of the Microsoft Windows Help compiler (HCP.EXE) version 3.10 or later to compile the files.
