Cheat sheets can assist you with common tasks in the Workbench.
They provide step-by-step instructions within a workbench view and
can perform some of the steps in the task automatically.
Follow these instructions to open and use a cheat sheet:
- Click . The Cheat Sheet Selection window
opens.
- Expand EGL and select an EGL cheat sheet.
- Click OK. The cheat sheet opens in a workbench
view.
- Click Click to Begin to start through the
cheat sheet.
- Follow the steps in the cheat sheet.
As the steps in the cheat
sheet expand, they provide the information necessary to perform each
step. Depending on the step, you might need to perform the step manually
or there might be other options available as follows:
- In some cases, the cheat sheet can perform the step or a portion
of the step for you. If this option is available, you can click the Click
to Perform link. For example, the cheat sheet might be
able to open a wizard for you, but you must fill out the wizard to
complete the step.
- In some cases, the cheat sheet provides an option to skip a step.
If this option is available and you have already met the criteria,
you can click on the Click to Skip link. For
example, if you already have an EGL web project, then you can skip
the step of creating an EGL web project.
- As you complete each step, click the Click to Complete link.
The next step in the cheat sheet expands automatically.
