Setting Help Links for a Web Dynpro Application

1. In Web Dynpro Explorer go to Properties for the application or window where you want to create the help link.

2. Choose Help Links.

   An overview of all existing help links appears, which you can display by choosing the Test Help Link symbol. In change mode you can change or delete the help links, or change the text that is displayed as the title in the help browser window.

3. To create an additional help link, choose Append Line.

   Note

   If you use an OTR alias, a where-used list for the alias text is available in the Usage field.

4. In the dialog box select the content management system (CMS) containing the help topic you want to link to.

   If you select Knowledge Warehouse, you go automatically to the Knowledge Warehouse system where you can select the context, area, structure, and the info object you want.

   Note that both the topic and the structure must be released in the Knowledge Warehouse.

   The title of the topic from Knowledge Warehouse is automatically suggested in the Text (OTR) field as the title for the associated help link, and is created as an OTR text. You can change this text by overwriting it. Alternatively, you can add the title using the Web Dynpro Text Browser.

5. Choose OK.

   Your new help link has been added to the list of existing help links.

6. Save your entries.

End users can call application help by pressing the F1 key. Depending on how the Help Center is configured, it appears next to your application in the side panel, or in a new browser window (see application parameter WDHELPCENTERDISPLAY). The section Worth Knowing contains the help links.
