Customising help

Is there any way to programmatically insert/update the page/item level page text rather than manually typing it in at design time ?
We want the end users to be able to modify the help text to reflect their inhouse business rules.
thanks

Ideas, anyone ?
thanks

Customised help in SAP standard

Hi everybody
I have a very peculiar specification.
The users want to have a customised help on the main screens - like ME21N, MIGO,MIRO etc
I know that thers a HTML document to be attached to each screen or fields on the screen
But how to attach them, I dont know
anybody has any idea?

Hi,
pasted documentation of data element additional documentation:
The documentation of a data element is displayed in the F1 help for each screen field that refers to this data element.
You can enhance the documentation of the data element with screen- specific information using data element supplements. A data element supplement must be assigned to a screen. The text of the data element supplement appears in the F1 help on this screen in addition to the documentation of the data element.
If a data element supplement is created directly with the corresponding screen (call F1 help, go to documentation maintenance with F7 or the right mouse key, and enter the number of the data element supplement in the next dialog box), the screen and the data element supplement are automatically assigned to each other. Otherwise you must maintain this link in table THLPF.
I hope this will enable you to provide the solution in your company.

In my item template item, I am using the following in order to pop the window help :

Hi lila
Let us say that you have page 1 on which you want to show help for some item....
So in Post Element Text you can put an image tag ( for help) which onclick will call the function ...
function helpWin()
var URL = 'f?p=999:2:&SESSION::NO::';
w = open(URL,1,"Scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=600,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
so page 2 is your customisable help page...in which you can put page title ,customise button etc....
hope it helps
thanks

Help window sizes

Hi,
Working in RH HTML,
Generating webhelp and webhelp pro manuals.
I wanted to know how can we define the size of the help
window that opens once the help runs?
I was able to able to define a customised help window under
"Window" but am not able to select this window when I try and
configure Source output - webhelp/pro.
Though am able to select this window when I want to create a
.chm file.
Also, I wanted to know if there a way that we can restrict
the size of the TOC window? Similar to what RoboWizard has. ;).
Thx for your help

Kewel -
Brute force method would be to simply search for the
frameset file that contains the phrase "220,*", and change those
values to a width you do want, as a startup size. If you want to
actually 'restrict' the maximum size, you will need a bit of
scripting for that.

Message no. 00058

it is very urgent and i am stuck up. pls provide some inputs
regards,

Please, check in the IMG that you have correctly defined the table
T059Z:
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings ->
    Withholding Tax -> Extended Withholding Tax -> Calculation ->
    Withholding Tax Codes -> Define withholding tax codes
Please, also check the customizing of the vendor's Account Group
and set the field Tax category as optional:
Trans. OBD3 -> Select account group -> Company Code Data ->
    W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 -> Withholding tax category

User adding personalized notes

The software that my company designs is very flexible so our
help files are very vague. Is there a way that we can provide a
notes section for each topic where a user can go in and make notes
on customized programs and procedures? These notes do not need to
be published or posted to the web they would be location specific
and used internally for each client.

Hi rrambur and welcome to the forum. You mention the web
which would indicate your help is webhelp...right? Not that this
matters though as there is no functionality that you can add to
allow users to add notes to your compiled help no matter what the
format
However there are ways around this. Our company
provides a link in our application to a customised help file that
the client can maintain. It's accessed from the Help menu. Mind
you, no one uses this facility which is why no one here has
bothered to change the application code as it is still limited to
calling a winhelp file. LOL! Note to self: I must speak to the lead
developer about winhelp and windows vista. Another option is to
allow users to access an intranet or wiki that they could
maintain.

Help with customised login JSP on SSO server

Our customised version of the SSO login page JSP is required to access a database table in order to retrieve a dynamic message to display. This means we will need to create utility java classes in order to connect to the database and retrieve the information. We will also ideally need a data source on the SSO APP Server that we can reference in order to avoid hard-coding environment specific connection data.
Can anyone help out on where we will need to install the utility classes and where the data source can be created in order for the login JSP to see them. Is there any other configuration we need to consider e.g. classpaths etc?
The coding we are fine with, it is the actual "what goes where and don't forget to include this" that we are unsure of.

Hello St***,
Did you accomplished the cusomized SSO logon page with database access. If yes can you please provide met with some examples and instructions how to accomplish this.
Regards,
Dennis

Setting up Customised priorities in help- support message in solman

Hi All,
We have defined some customised priorities for our requirement.
The Priorities are coming in crmd_order and in notif_create but these changes are not found in help->create msg.
The SPRO activity: SAP Solution Manager Implementation Guide > SAP Solution Manager > Scenario-Specific Settings > Service Desk > Maintain Categories and Priorities > Maintain Priorities of Dates modified the priorities only in crmd_order transaction.
I have searched in sdn also but could not get much information on it.
The main problem is, in satellite system(ECC) they use help->create msg to create a support message. In which the customised prioties are not coming.
Request your guidance in this issue.
Regards,
Subhashini.

Hi
Goto DNO_CUST01 in solman
now choose slf1 on the right side and then click priorities
here add more prirorities for you
But remember this will not enhance help -> create support message in solman or in satellite system
If you want customize in satellite also then modify the standard by develpment
Hope it helps

Customising AIR Help

I plan to output my online help as an AIR application, and one thing I must be able to do is customise the skin to make it on-brand with our existing applications and corporate look and feel. I know that this feature is not currently available, but if I can locate the file I need to edit I can then find a flash developer to make the necessary changes.
I have looked around the web and on the forums, but I can't find any mention of the name of the file that needs to be edited. Can anyone help?
I created a test version of AIR help using a trial version of the Tech Comms Suite, but when the trial period is over I'll be back to using Robohelp x5, and Adobe CS3 Design Premium, but if I can prove the AIR help concept and customise the skin, I'll get the approval for the expense of a software upgrade.
BTW: I have seen the other posts on this subject and have submitted this to the 'Wish list'. However while we all wait for Adobe to add this feature I want to prove the concept because our old Win help is creaking!

No they don't R-A-X. At least not until it is actually released. I would suggest you add your wish to the list of Wish List items. Adobe do listen to these and the more there are for this the greater chance there will be of it coming to fuition in a future version. You can do so here.

None that I'm aware of. "Auto notify" is an option but not auto download.

Customising Adobe AIR Help

RH 8 HTML.
Is it possible to customise the output of an Air help file?
I want to do a few things:
Set the column width of the TOC so it is wider
Change color schemes if possible
Make my title page appear when first opened - but not be a topic (in the same way the RH8 help file does it)
Remove the 'pop up' that comes when I hover over a topic, the title pops out above itself, it just looks strange and I dont like it.
Set an indent on the text displayed in topics so it is further from the column that seperates the TOC and topics. I tried to do this with a master page but it didn't work with AIR.
Also, is there anywhere to get more AIR skins??
Thanks.

Customised and added software need restoration! HELP!!!!

I have on my iMac two Hard-drives...internal and external and upgraded memory.
My iMac is behaving as if it has a mind of it's own. On turning it on, all added and customised software eg. Outlook Express, Quark Express, Adobe etc. cannot be found in my Apple Menu Items where aliases were kept. They however show as being present in my Sherlock Find. They just can't be used as they were customised to be. If I try to access them via Sherlock, they ask to be reinstalled. My settings just seem to have gone into hiding somewhere or beserk and I can't afford reinstalling as my addressbook will be emptied and favourites will be deleted for a start. Not to mention the possibility of further of new software and special effects as what had happened when I added the other hard-drive. I can't even get access to my added desktop photo anymore nor address book, but Sherlock indicates they are there somehow. I am scared so please advise me how I may get everything reverted to my customised setting. I took a chance and used the Internet Explorer so I could contact forums in the US for help.PLEASE GUIDE ME!

Hi, Islander -
Is it possible you have an operating system (OS) installed on both drives, and have accidenatlly booted to the one that is not your usual boot volume?
To change the drive/OS you are booted to, use the Startup Disk control panel to select the one you wish to switch to, then restart.
Depending on the age and model of your iMac, you may also be able to use Startup Manager at boot to pick the volume from which to boot.

Requirements:"User information incorrect. Cannot send e-mail with new password ,Please contact your Administrator "
Kindly help em out how to do it ................
Thanks,

Hi,
Until you have only played around with the layout of the logon page and not the actual code then you will be able to use this property. There are bits of code in the logon par which retreives these values.
For eg you can see the below if statement in the logon page to determine if logon help has to be displayed. This is part of standard logo page so if you have not removed this in your custom one everything should work just fine.
<% if ( logonBean.getLogonHelp() ) { %>
