3. Current Alarm Help Prototype based on discussion at FWWG Help files are assumed to be HTML but can be other types Opened using System Settings command of DEN Each DPE can be given a custom help page Without a custom help page, a naming convention is used to find the relevant file

4. Naming convention Search path is /help/en_US.iso88591/AlarmHelp/ Naming convention allows Help for a particular DPE of a particular Device Help for a particular Device Help for a particular DPE of a Device Type Help for a Device Type Generic Default Help Page

5. Naming convention Sub directories hold the four different types For devices: DeviceDPE/ or DeviceDP/ File name is equal to DP name (with element) Can include system name or not All : and / are converted to _ For device types: DeviceTypeDPE/ or DeviceType/ File name is equal to DP Type name (with element) Can include system name or not File names can end with “.html”, “.htm”, “.xml” or no suffix

6. Storing custom help pages For a DPE you can configure a custom help page Something outside the naming convention This is stored in the _general.._string_05 attribute PVSS Alert Panel In the original proposal it was also chosen to set the Alert Panel (in the _alert_hdl config) to some generic FW panel This is not needed as a panel could be opened by writing a custom “onClick” function This allows the PVSS Alert Panel to remain user definable
