Help screen for MII application?

[Former Member]

I am part of a team that is developing a pretty big and complicated system built with .irpt pages and MII applets, queries, displays and transactions.

Does MII offer a way to build a custom help screen, similar to Microsoft's HTML help? How have creators of other MII applications done their help screens? Are there any examples to look at?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Michael,

I would love to hear other ideas/examples. I am building in Microsoft HTML Help right now, and that seems pretty good, but I am sure I can port the help information pretty easily if there's something better.

MII does not offer a special tool for creating help pages. You can use any tool for building dynamic web pages that you would also use to build your application, even external tools like Adobe Flex to create nice screens.

I once created a PDF User Guide which I linked into the User Navigation, so users can read it online or print it easily if needed. You may create help buttons that open small help pop ups.

Perhaps other users can share there ideas?
