- Application Help will be stored primarily in Hermes (http://kb.mit.edu)
- When linking to help in Hermes use the Short link, e.g. http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/2gTn not the Full link
- This is to protect against the article / title changing in the future which affects the Full link but not the Short link.
- Launch application help window a smaller, less overwhelming window (50% sized) with no ‘chrome’ (no navigation menu, no status bar at bottom).
- Here’s the sample ABAP code:
lv_url = 'http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3902416'. "change url to your app-specific help page
lo_window = lo_window_mg->create_external_window( url = lv_url
modal = abap_true
has_menubar = abap_false
is_resizable = abap_true
has_scrollbars = abap_true
has_statusbar = abap_false
has_toolbar = abap_false
has_location = abap_false
).
lo_window->set_window_size( width = '600px'
height = '800px' ).
lo_window->set_window_position(
left = 400
top = 100 ).
- For now, point to Production Hermes help file URLs.
- Mike Berger will check with Alison Bell re: release process for Hermes content, viability of pointing to non-Prod content (esp for new apps)
- Open issue regarding browser and pop-up blockers
