13. 13 Navigating Through Help

14. 14 Using the Contents Tab The Contents tab of the help viewer displays folders and pages that represent the categories of information in the online Help system. The Contents tab is the tab displayed when you click on the book icon. The "lollipop"-like symbol next to folders that have subfolders indicates whether its contents are displayed. When the "stick" of the "lollipop" is pointing to the folder, then the contents are NOT displayed (or in other words, the folder is "collapsed"). When the "stick" is pointing down, the contents are displayed (or, in other words, the folder is "expanded").

15. 15 Using the Index Tab The Index tab displays a multi-level list of keywords and keyword phrases. These terms are associated with topics in the Help system. Keywords are often cross-referenced with synonyms to provide multiple ways to locate information.

16. 16 Using the Search Tab The Search tab enables you to search for words in the Help system, no matter where they are in the topic. To do a search, enter the text in the Find text box and press the Enter key.

17. 17 How to Access Web Based Tools Web Based Tools are accessed via the DMI-Services menu.
