Changing Help Links

If you want to use a different start page for the help, you can change the help link for the application.

To change a help link

1. In Siebel Tools, in the Object Explorer (Types tab) select the Application object type.
2. In the Object List Editor, find the Container Web Page that the application uses.
3. In the Object Explorer (Types tab), select the Web Page object type.
4. In the Object List Editor, find and select the Web Page object definition that uses the Container Web Page.
5. In the Object Explorer (Types tab), expand the Web Page object type and select the Web Page Item object type.
6. In the Object List Editor, select the HelpButton Web Page Item object definition, and in the Object Explorer (Types tab), expand the Web Page Item object to expose and select the Web Page Item Parameter object type.
7. In the Url Web Page Item Parameter object definition, change the Value property to reflect the name of the HTML file you want to use as a start page.

   For example, help/index.htm.

8. Recompile to create an updated SRF.
9. Optionally, in the HTML file you want to use as a start page, add a reference to the Siebel help cascading style sheet (siebhelp.css) and add the necessary code to implement the navigation buttons.

   NOTE:  You can use help/siebcomgeneric.htm as an example.

10. Distribute the repository file and the new HTML file to the appropriate Siebel Server.
