Using Context-Sensitive Help

The online help is a comprehensive, interactive system. If you use it regularly, you can significantly reduce the time it takes to learn and become proficient with your new MIP Fund Accounting software.

The online help's "context-sensitive" feature is an easy way to get help when you need it most. Context-sensitive means that the system knows where you are working within the system so when you need help, all you have to do is press the F1 key, click the Help button, or click Help on the left Navigator pane.

The system displays a help topic related to the form or tab in which you are working:

• Links (located at the top) are provided to other topics that you might find useful. There are also links to procedures and FAQs, which provide instructions on how to perform certain tasks and answers to frequently asked questions.
• The first section describes the process associated with the form.
• The Fields section provides descriptions of the fields on the form.
• The Tips section provides hints related to the process.
• You can also use the Contents, Index, and Search tabs, of the help system, to access other topics within the help file.
• The Favorites tab can be used to store shortcuts to your most frequently visited help topics or topics you intend to visit in the future.

There is a wealth of information available that you can use daily to help you in your work. By experimenting with online help, you learn to use the system quickly, effectively, and efficiently.
