How to implement 'Context Sensitive Help' for Workforce Performance Build Tool.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to implement ‘Context Sensitive Help’ for Workforce Performance Build Tool. Please let me know how to go about implementing the "Context Sensitive Help".
It will be great if you can share some links to the documents and screenshots.
Thanks,
Sanjiv Karmakar

Hi Sanjiv,
do you you mean expand the Help Menu => Pull Help or do you mean
EPSS => push Help?
in case pull help please tell me exactly which system GUI or EP and version you are using.
many different scenarios are possible.
Tom
P.S. Please take care of the name is Workforce Performance Builder or maybe in-official WPB.
many people ask in the HCM area for help, this is the reason why we do not observe all discussion.
The name in the title will help us to find your questions on time.

Setting up context sensitive help for WebHelp in web application.

Hi,
I'm working on a help system for a web application. It will include context sensitive help triggered by an icon on the screen, and the Topic will open in an iframe with a set size. The developer has already set up the iframe that pops up when the icons are clicked. He is giving me the ID for the screens with the help icons as a fully qualified java file name. I'm not sure what the correct process would be in RoboHelp to map the ID's to the topics.
1. Do I create a map file using the list of ID's the developer sends me? Would it be in this format:
#define Topic_Name Java_File_Name
2. Do I then add the ID to the appropriate help Topic using Project Setup pod Context-Sensitive Help folder?
3. When I generate the layout I specify the map file I created above (.h extension)
3. If the developer already set up the iFrame size, is it correct that I don't need to create a custom window to set up the size? Is there a way to set it so two panes open? (I believe using the method above one pane opens with link to navigation pane)
Thanks in advance,
Joanne

How to create context sensitive help and call the role based help from my Java Project?

Hello All,
I am new to Robo Help. I have created a Robo help for my Java Web Applicaion. My application is role base i.e some user's will not see some of the pages of the application. So I want to hide those pages in Robo help as well. I tried creating multiple TOC for different Roles.
My Question is
How to call robo Help from my application?(I will be calling using java script. If it is with RoboHelp_CSH.js where can I get that and How to implement it in my project)
How to implement role based help?
Thanks,
Siva.

I answered that. My point in asking whether it matters was that if it does, then you cannot use content categories and point different users to different categories and not allow them to see the others.
The alternative, as I said, would be to produce different outputs for each role.
As it does matter, then using webhelp you will have to use your RoboHelp project to produce a number of outputs, one for each category. Your app would install each webhelp into different folders and when your app determines the user role, you will link to the appropriate help.
There is another thread running where it has been explained by Willam van Weelden that you can achieve what you want using browser based AIR help. If that form of help can be considered, then the thread is at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4914753?tstart=0#4914753
Browser based AIR help must be run from a web server. It cannot be installed locally.

How to get context sensitive help in JSP Pages

Is it possible to display context sensitive help in JSP Pages when I press the tab key on the keyboard base on the key focus. I don�t want to use any applet or Swing components, because it�s a web page viewed on the browser
Thanks

Java code inside a JSP is interpreted on the server and the HTML produced by the server it is shown in the client browser. The JSP code can incorporate calls to the JavaHelp API if it is available to the server. Those calls can be used on the server side to map parts of the JSP to contents of a help set (HTML pages).
Given that, you can provide context sensitive help, but when it comes to view help information, you either can show HTML only (without TOC, index, etc.) or you'd need an applet.

How to display context-sensitive help in frameset?

When the help is generated by Robohelp, there is a primary
file named by default as 'Web_Interface_On_Line_Help.htm" that
opens the entire help window, with a left pane and a right pane.
The left pane has the TOC and Index, and the right pane has the
content of the page, displayed in frameset.
A separate html page is generated for each page written in
help and saved in folder the help/user it relates to .
When I call one of these pages using map id and following
javascript function
<a
href="javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'Web_Interface_On_Line_Help.htm>WithNavPane',HH_HELP_CONTE XT,189);">
Help</a>
The left pane has the TOC and Index, and the right pane has
the content of the page, displayed in frameset.
Everything is ok till this stage but when I click on one of
the links in left pan, only the content of the page opens in new
window with "show" link at the top of the page.....
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

Do you already have projects in multiple languages?
Normally, you create the project in the main language and set context sensitivy. Then you send the project to the translation agency and they send you the translated projects. Then you generate the different language version. The application must then point to the correct directory with the help for that language.
This answer is kind of high level. For information on context sensitivity in general, see: http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm

How can I reference an external help file from context sensitive help at the control level?

My goal is to provide context sensitive help for each control displayed on the front panel using a help file created externally. I know that at the VI level I can specify a Help Path; I want the same behaviour for each control inside a VI. I also know about creating a custom control and specifying the Help Path in there, but it doesn't help in this situation, for I have hundreds of controls in my application and I cannot go back and replace each one with a unique .ctl. If I could override each instance of the custom control with unique path data that would do the trick, but that's not how it works.
Is there a way to add the Help Path information to regualr controls?

This functionality is not yet built into LabVIEW.
About all you can do is cut and paste the help for each control into the description for the control. It is tedius but a finite task.

Context Sensitive Help in Different Formats

I have a large help project in Robohelp HTML 8. My project manager would like to have context sensitive help for many objects in our application. I believe that context sensitive help cannot be used if you are generating a WebHelp format, but that it can be used for a Microsoft HTML format (chm file). Is this correct?

I thought you had CHM help working as CSH and were looking to go to WebHelp?
Both outputs can be used to provide CSH.
How the topics are called will be decided by your developer.

Context-sensitive help breaking in RoboHelp 8

Peter - you're a lifesaver and I hope you're out there today . . . or somebody's out there who can help . . .
I shouldn't have said that in my last post about something being the "wackiest" thing I'd ever seen in RoboHelp. Now we have a new problem that's much more serious.
We have an aforementioned (in previous post) enormous RoboHelp 5 project, converted to RoboHelp 8 after much anguish, replacing hundreds of WYSIWYG graphics with true code etc. Map IDs were *not* touched.
Now the context-sensitive help for our VB app is not working, even though the map IDs are still in place on both ends (dev and docs) and all the relevant .hh files were included in my compile. Some topics (within the same help file) appear when called from the app, some don't.
A developer had a theory that in one case the topic ID was assigned (on their end) during design time, the other during run time. He's testing it now.
If it doesn't work, I have no idea where to begin. Is anyone aware of any changes in RoboHelp 8 that would affect the way the .hlp links to VB?
Thank you! - Sandy

Hi all,
I wanted to thank everyone who responded and post a follow-up to this, as well as a caution.
I felt like the world's biggest *** when I found this out, but it turns out that in my .doc files for this particular .hlp file (our project includes multiple .hlps) "Automatically Generate Map IDs" was turned on, and of course it should not have been. So the problem was on my end, not the software developers' end.
However - part of the reason it took me so long to figure this out is that I know I never turned that setting on. The other writer on this project has been here longer than I have and never would have turned it on. And it's not like that command is easy to stumble upon and set off accidentally (For those of you who don't know, it's under File>>Project Settings in RoboHelp Explorer). I have to think that RoboHelp defaulted those settings in somehow, maybe during our conversion from 5 to 8.
(Unless someone knows a way that you *can* just stumble on this setting and trigger it accidentally, maybe by inserting some random character in your .hpj . . . if anyone does, I would love to know about it.)
So, especially if you just changed versions of RoboHelp, I would encourage you to be proactive and, if you don't want "Automatically Generate Map IDs" turned on, double-check and make sure nothing is selected for Automatic Map ID Generation on the "Map Files" tab of the Project Settings dialog. After what happened to me this last time around, I'm probably going to check it every time I compile. - why not add another neurosis to the list?
Thanks again - Sandy

How to provide link for the topics of Webhelp in the Context Sensitive Help in RH10 ?

I am using Robohelp 10 and currently working on Context Sensitive Help in which there is a need to create certain links for the topics that are present in Webhelp. My area of concern is that we can't use map id's since CS Help and Webhelp had already been created and it will be a mess for developers too since they had to relook their code. While generating output we don't give js files to our developers, we just give them folders and css file. Considering all these points, is there any way to provide a link for a topic of Help in Context Sensitive Help? Anyone, Please Help !

I'm not clear on what the question is. You seem to want CSH and to not use Map IDs. That leaves other methods to which Willam has already pointed you. Essentially it's Map IDs or URLs. So are you asking if there is a method that does not involve the developers? No as it is they who must create a link of some sort from a screen to a topic.
You also say you don't give JS files, just folders and CSS. The Rh WebHelp output contains many files and folders and you have to give the whole output or the help will not work properly. Exactly what are you giving them?

Context sensitive solution for Structural authorization

Dear all,
I would like to know whether new relationship, evaluation path and authorization profile has to be created for each role with context sensitive structural authorization ?
In T77UA table, each user has assigned a profile which tells the system how to find the structure by evaluation path (in T77PR table). Then in tranx OOAW, the evaluation path indicate how to build the structure by series of relationship, and this way we have to create new relationship for each role with context.
Am i correct ?
If an organization has many roles, then many relationship, evaluation path, profile.. has to be created !
Thanks for your help !
patrick cheung

Hi Chandra,
Thanks for your prompt reply !
This is for Context Sensitive solution, not the normal structural authorization:
Yes, if you add the authorization object P_ORGINCON in PFCG, you will notice that the field "Authorization Profile" has to be entered which tells the system WHICH ORG STRUCTURE does this authorization are refering to...
In table T77PR, instead of hardcoding the organization unit in the object ID field, we use Evaluation path to tell the system how to find the org structure for employees. Function RH_GET_MANAGER_ASSIGNMENT will return the org unit ID for the evaluation path.
In transaction OOAW, the said evaluation path specified the relationships which the system should use to draw the org structure of the employee's supervision... and there should be relationship like "Is managed by", may be as follows:
O B 002 Is line supervisor of * O
O A 011 Cost center asignmnt * K
O B 003 Incorporates * S
O B 012 Is managed by... * S
Up to now.... if you want to assign authorization to someone as follows, you could not simply maintain the same relationship "Is managed by" to Org Structure A and B because this will confuse the system as to which org structure you want the employee to maintain infotype 7 or 14/15. You should then create different relationships and maintain them to Org Structure A and B. And tell the system how to find the structure from the Evaluation path, which is stick to the Auth. profile. The Auth. profile is then maintain in the Context sensitive master data object P_ORGINCON !
(1)
Org Structure A
Maintain only infotype 7
(2)
Org Structure B
Maintain only infotype 14, 15
So... that's why i said if an employee has many role to perform duties in many different Org Structures (e.g. A, B, C...etc), you would create many relationship...
Hope this message will give idea to someone who intend to implement Context Sensitive Solution.

Generating context sensitive help

When my form is generated, I find for each field a key-help trigger, that should bring me to the proper line in my help-file with the prefix that links it to my field.
In Designer I can find the property:
Help Context Id Prefix at the module level and at the block level.
I Find that for the items always the same prefix is generated.
How do I construct proper context sensitive help?

Peter,
As these properties are not visible in the RON, you can only clear the contents by writing repository API code to do this.
You can find information on the repository API via the RON, type F4 then F5 and then press the Model button. This opens HTML help on the API. The column you should update is the ci_data_bound_items.HELP_CONTEXT_ID_SUFFIX.
You could write a very simple headstart utility to do so. I'm not sure whether clearing these ids solves your problem: are the new numbers unique as opposed to the old ones?
Hope this helps.
Kind regards, Marc

Error Opening 2nd Context-Sensitive Help Topic

Hi All,
We were having an issue that when opening a 2nd instance of the context-sensitive help (with the help already open), a blank window would appear and we would receive an "Access Denied" error related to the whcsh_home.htm file. I found the fix posted on Peter Grainge's site at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/using_rh8.htm (thank you!), and this resolved the issue in IE7 and Firefox. However, our QA team is reporting that the issue still occurs in IE8.
Can someone please confirm that this fix works for IE8 as well as IE7 and Firefox? I'm able to load a 2nd instance of the help in IE8 on my computer without an issue after implementing this fix, so I think this is an issue specific to the tester's machine, but wanted to post here for any additional information.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm just now running into this IE 8 issue with my Robo HTML 6 WebHelp project. It worked (and continues to work) perfectly in IE
7, but not in IE 8. The fix didn't work for me. Any more info about (or fixes for) this one?
thanks

How to implement multiple Value Helps within the same Application ??

Dear Experts,
I want to implement multiple value helps in the same view.For that I have declared exporting parameters of type 'wdy_key_value_table.' within the component controller for each of the value helps.While I do activate and test the application I get the following error :
The following error text was processed in the system HE6 : A row with the same key already exists.
The error occurred on the application server hsdnt24s11_HE6_00 and in the work process 4 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE

I dont know how to implement multiple value helps.Need your help on this.
Regards,
Mamai.

Hi
Hint is : A row with the same key already exists it means , It is assigning the same value/Key to row and you are calling it at WDDOINIT so it giving error at the time of initialization .
Better way to do the coding at some event in view OR if not possible than just execute the first value help in wddoinit later clear all the value before gettig the other Value help. Code it at WdDoModify View to get its run time behaviour.

Cannot get simple merged HTML Help project going with context sensitive help

I have built a very simple project in RH9 from scratch, consisting of a main project and a sub-project now after I have modified our large project in changing every hyphens from file and directory names over a couple of days now only to see that context help still doesn't work.
The map IDs are not visible in the main project. To test it in the example, invoke the CSH-Test (context sensitive help test) from the Toolbox, enter !SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\main.chm in the Offline field and a number 57 in the ID field. In our large project I'm getting nothing (no window pops up). In this example I'm getting this mystical error box, saying HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section.
Christoph

Hi William,
thanks having a look at my problem. I read in another thread today a description which comes close to the problem I'm facing.
Maybe I formed the mini sample not exactly as our problem is situated. (thus the doubled map ids you were claiming).
I will try to explain again: we have a couple of CHMs in separate single help projects. These go into their own TOCs, Index Glossar etc. like in sub1->Einzel. For the merged project we produce a chm that goes into the directory of the master (main) project, like in sub1->Primäres Layout.
Each Topic in the sub project (e.g. sub1->Erstes Thema) has a symbolic link address (e.g. "Linkadresse=det_org_angaben), which is mapped to the MAP ID via the .h file.
This all used to work that way in RH5.
Now it seems that this information between the map ID and the symbolic Linkaddress gets lost with the merge process.
I am not using the same ID (57) twice in my example. The MAP ID in the main project comes from the sub1 project (see the yellow locked MAP ID).
The simplest test is using the CSH-Test in the Toolbox giving the main.chm as the Helpfile to test and enter the 57 as a MAP ID.
The idea behind is to use one CHM later to have to open in the application. The other CHMs of the subprojects only need to be present in the application directory. Then you invoke HtmlHelp(with the MAPID),like I posted in this thread.
The method you are suggesting in mapping the ID to the topic in the main project will not work since the topic is in the CHM of the sub project.
I modified the sample project once again (somehow the baggage files were not showing) to come closer to the constellation we are using in the large project, though I'm getting the "HH_HELP_CONTEXT called without a [MAP] section" error (which does not occur in our large project).
