Expecting a toolbar's Help button

Hello everyone,

In the general page, I see two fields:

  • Help Text. View Help = Add help content for your application. The help will be available in your application by clicking the Profile button followed by the App Help button.
  • Help URL. View Help = Provide a URL link to your online help. This help can be accessed in the toolbar’s Help button.

I leave the “Help URL” field empty.

When I click the Profile button followed by the App Help button: the text in the field “Help Test” displays as expected.
But when I set a link “Help URL” field,

According to “View Help”, I would expect to find a Help button in the toolbar, but I don’t see any actually.
When I click the Profile button followed by the App Help button: the page in the URL link page appears instead of the text in the field “Help Test”. The text in the field “Help Text” cannot be reached anymore.

Is this the expected behavior? Thank you!

Jean

Hi Jean,

Help for Your Application | Five | Low-Code For Real Developers

When adding help on the Application form, it will be available by clicking the Profile button and then the App Help button (as you know!). If you add a URL link, it will take precedence over the Help Text field.

The Help (question mark) button, won’t apply to your application help, it will display the help for the view your user is currently in, for example, if you add help on a form record, when a user is using that form in your application, the help will be available in the Help button. There is also a Help URL field for a form, so if you were to add a URL here it would also take precedence over the Help Text field.

In summary, the Help button is for the current view your user is in, the help on an application record is available in the App Help button and the Help URL field will take precedence over the Help Text field.

I hope that makes it clearer!

Kind regards,

Jo

Okay, it was the term “toolbars Help button.” in that confused me. Thanks, that’s much clearer!

Best regards, Jean.
