Enabling Application Designer F1 Help Using the Hosted Online Help

To enable the F1 help:

  1. Sign in to your PeopleSoft applications.

  2. Select PeopleTools, and then Utilities, and then Administration, and then PeopleTools Options.

  3. In the Help Options section, enter the F1 URL in the following format: 

    https://docs.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=library_ID

    Replace the value of library_ID with the library ID that you identified during the Prerequisites.

    Example for the latest PeopleTools 8.57:

    https://docs.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=pt882latest

    This example illustrates the PeopleTools Options page with the F1 help URL for the latest PeopleTools 8.62 help:

  4. Save your changes.

  5. Open Application Designer.

    Note:

    If Application Designer is already running, quit and restart it.

  6. Test the help by opening a definition, such as a page or dialog box, and pressing F1.

    Note:

    If you reach the Oracle Help Center but receive a “page not found” error (404), this could mean that the library ID is incorrect or that no help is available for the page that you’re testing. If the library ID is correct, try testing some other pages.
