How to Use this Help File

This browser-based help file is installed with the SANbox Manager application, and contains windowpanes, book and page icons, and buttons that are used in conjunction with standard browser features.

 

The three ways to open the online help system are:

* Open the Help menu and select Help Topics

* Click the Help button in the tool bar

* Click the Help button in a dialog to open context-sensitive information for that dialog.

 

Book and Page Icons

Book and page icons appear in the left windowpane. The book icons toggle open and closed. Click a closed book icon (or plus symbol) to open the book and display all pages (topics) in that book. Click an open book icon (or minus symbol) to close the book.

 

Windowpanes

The left windowpane controls what you see in the right windowpane. Click a book icon in the left windowpane to display its pages (help topics) below that book in the left windowpane. Click a page icon or text entry in the left windowpane to display the corresponding help topic in the right windowpane.

 

Help Toolbar Buttons

The help toolbar is a row of buttons that permit access to the various components of the help system: Contents, Index, Search, Glossary, Print, and Procedures. The Help toolbar is located inside the browser window and above the left and right windowpanes. The Contents button displays the help file contents in a nested book/page format in the left windowpane. The Index button displays a alphabetized list of terms linked to help related topics. In the entry field, type a word or phrase to directly access the list, or scroll the list. Click a linked term in the left windowpane to display its related topic in right windowpane. The Search button displays an entry field to type a word or phrase on which to search all topics. A list of topics related to the search is generated. The Glossary button displays a column containing an alphabetized list of terms. Click a term in the list to view its definition in the lower pane. The Print button prints out the topic currently displayed in the right windowpane. The Procedures button displays the List of Procedures topic containing an alphabetized linked list of procedures.

 

Browse Buttons

The Browse buttons (left/right arrows), located between the Contents button and the left windowpane, allow you to browse sequentially forward or backward through the pages of a book in their pre-determined order. Remember: To display the last help topic that was displayed in the right windowpane, click the Back button on the browser's toolbar, not the left arrow (browse button).

 

Procedures

Procedures can be accessed directly using the book and page icons, or from the List of Procedures help topic. You can also browse the Procedures alphabetically from the List of Procedures help topic.
