Defining and Displaying Custom Help

You can provide custom information to the users on data model classes, class properties, and pointer class properties. For example, HTML documents. The custom help can be defined and displayed in the Data Modeler.

This task explains how to define the custom help:

  1. Select the class from the Class tab, class property from the Properties tab, or pointer class property from the Pointers tab in the Table View.

  2. In the Help URL property, enter the URL that links to an HTML file containing the help information for the class, class property, or pointer class property.

  3. In the Browser View, select the class which has the Help URL defined, and then select Model > Commit to commit the changes to the database.

    There are two ways of displaying custom help, namely:

  • From the main menu, select View > Custom Defined Help.

    OR

  • From the pop-up menu icon in the Table View, select Custom Defined Help. If the help has been defined, the help information appears in the browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape browser).
