Contents Tab

The Contents tab displays the main sections of this online system as book icons. When you click the +-sign icon to the left of a book, the book expands to show the topics it contains.

To go to a topic from the Contents tab:

1. Click the Contents tab to display the Table of Contents view.
2. Click the + icon to the left of a book icon to expand the section and show its contents.

   Clicking the book icon itself displays the introductory topic for the section. In most cases, the topic contains an overview of the section plus a list of relevant links. In some cases, the topic consists exclusively of links to other topics in the section.

3. Click a link in the introductory topic to go to that topic.
4. Continue navigating through the table of contents until you find the topic you want and then click its entry.

Index Tab

The index is an alphabetical listing of keywords found in the help. A single keyword might be linked to more than one topic. Scroll through the list, or to jump to an index entry that matches what you’re looking for, type the first few letters of the subject in the editable field above the list.

To go to a topic from the Index tab:

1. Click the Index tab to display the Help index.
2. In the Search For The Keyword field at the top of the tab, enter the subject you want, and then click View.

   You can also scroll through the alphabetical list to find the term for which you need information.

3. Click the term to show the topic contents.

   The topic displays in the Topic pane. Often it contains links to related topics.

Favorites Tab
