Oracle Applications provides you with a complete online help facility.

Whenever you need assistance, simply choose an item from the Help menu to pinpoint the type of information you want.

   To display help for a current window:

1. Choose Window Help from the Help menu, click the Help button on the toolbar, or hold down the Control key and type 'h'.

A web browser window appears, containing search and navigation frames on the left, and a frame that displays help documents on the right.

The document frame provides information on the window containing the cursor. The navigation frame displays the top-level topics for your responsibility, arranged in a tree control.

2. If the document frame contains a list of topics associated with the window, click on a topic of interest to display more detailed information.

3. You can navigate to other topics of interest in the help system, or choose Close from your web browser's File menu to close help.

Example

Suppose you are using Oracle General Ledger and are in the Define Budget Organization window. You want to know how to create a budget organization using this window. Choose Window Help from the Help menu to display a help on this topic.

   To display online help for any of the Oracle Applications products:

1. Choose Oracle Applications Library from the Help menu.

A web browser window appears, containing search and navigation frames on the left, and a document frame on the right.

2. In the navigation frame, click on the name of a product family to display a list of products in that family. Click on a product name to display the list of top-level topics in that product's online documentation.

3. Click on a topic of interest. Topics preceded by a plus sign (+) expand to show subtopics. Help on the topic displays in the document frame.

4. To collapse sections of the tree you previously expanded, click on topics preceded by a minus sign (-).

5. When you are finished, choose Close from the web browser's File menu to close help.

Note: A topic called "Library" and topics corresponding to other products and product families are often included on the navigation tree associated with a particular responsibility. These topics function in a fashion similar to the Library tree described here.

   To display version information for Oracle Applications:

1. Choose About Oracle Applications from the Help menu.

The window provides details about the version of the Oracle Applications components you are using, your login information, and information about the current form you are using.

You can supply this information to your system administrator or to Oracle Customer Support if you need to report a problem.

2. Choose OK to close this window.
