Has anyone created a dynamic help system in their app so on a given page, or maybe even certain fields the user could request help? Maybe using something like HelpNDoc, so I could create a user manual in HelpNDoc and use that to show certain topics in my help depending on what page, or possibly field the user is in?

Thanks

Thanks, I will try that.

Often the small things are of great interest.

Personally, I didnĀ“t know that in Word you can generate PDFs with URL compatible hyperlinks and with this you can directly link to a certain chapter of your doc. So far I only used the clickable table of contents.

Thanks Fernando

Hi @mbintex,

Having a manual, which also serves as contextual help is a great help in the implementation of an application, more when the training in the application has been small.

This is a proven and quite successful system.

Cheers,
