Site Help

Site Help is a feature that allows the system administrator to create Help files that are unique to your installation. When people are using the various screens, a check is made for a Site Help file for each screen. Site Help is not available for the various View* pages.

For example, if you are on the EditCal.html screen, then the software will look in the Site Help Directory for a file named:

<language>/EditCal.html

The language is the User's browser-specified language. The system will check for the User-specified locale, and then for the default locale of the server.

For a User that has a browser-specified language of "de", with a server default locale of "en" the system would check:

de/EditCal.html
en/EditCal.html

and return the first one it finds.

To create custom site help:

Create a directory to contain your Site Help. Within that directory, make a folder for the language you'll be using. For example, en.
Set the permissions on the directory so that it can be read by the servlet engine running Connect Daily.
Determine the name of the web page you want to display site help for; e.g. iCal.html.
Within the Site Help/en directory, create a file with the same name as the page you want to display the site help for. In our example, create a file named iCal.html. Site Help files should be HTML format, but should not contain <HTML>, </HTML>, <BODY>, or </BODY> tags. The files should be encoded using UTF-8.
Go to SYSTEM | CONFIGURATION | APPEARANCE screen. Enter the path in the Site Help Path field and save changes.

DO NOT INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE SPECIFIC PORTION IN THE PATH!

Now, when you browse to that page, the contents of the Site Help file will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
