Procedure documentationConfiguring the Help Center Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

In this step, you configure your system so that users can display SAP documentation on the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search UIs and include their own documentation. If the help center is activated, users can launch it from the administration cockpit, the modeler, the test console, and the Search UI by choosing Help. The link to the respective SAP documentation for the UI in question appears in the help center at Worth Knowing.

You can connect the following types of SAP documentation:

  • A local SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search library that you have installed from the documentation DVD.

    SAP recommends installing the SAP Library from the DVD because it contains the official product documentation for the respective software shipment.

You configure the help center in Customizing, which you can find in the implementation guide (IMG) in the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search ABAP system. For more information, see the system documentation about the customizing activities and the F1 help for the individual fields.
