Adding Help Options

You should add a Help option (link) to the channel content. How you do this depends on how the channel is created—by rendered Portal Desktop JavaServer Pages^TM (JSP^TM) technology, by native Portal Desktop JavaServer Pages technology, or by native Portal Desktop templates.

The topics in this section include these methods:

• Rendered Portal Desktop JSPs

• Native Portal Desktop JSPs

• Native Portal Desktop Templates

Rendered Portal Desktop JSPs

Use getHelp from the desktop tag library to add a help option to the mobile channel’s content. For instance:

<%@ taglib uri="/tld/desktop.tld" prefix="dt" %>
....
<AmlControlMenu url="<dt:getHelp/>" label="Help"/>

Native Portal Desktop JSPs

Use getHelp from the desktop tag library to add a help option to the mobile channel’s content. For instance:

<%@ taglib uri="/tld/desktop.tld" prefix="dt" %>
 ....
 <do type="options" name="h" label="Help">
 <go href="<dt:getHelp/>"/>
 </do>

Native Portal Desktop Templates

The template desktop automatically populates a help option in the channel if the template desktop finds an appropriate helpURL property for the channel in the display profile.

See the template provHelpLink.template and frontHelpLink.template.
