3 Field Sensitive Help

This chapter contains these topics:

Field sensitive help is available on all screens. To be effective, the cursor must be in an input field. By selecting Field Sensitive Help or the visual assists (magnifying glass), the appropriate application is invoked for the field. For example, a date field has a calendar application attached. The Address Book Number field displays a 'Name Search' application to allow users to search for customers, suppliers, and so on. The Document Type field allows users to search for the correct document type identifier. Some examples are shown below.
