Context-sensitive Help

'How do I?' and 'What is?' are questions familiar to most web application users. Fortunately for CommonSpot customers, these answers are just seconds away. Mouse over most menu or dashboard items and a tool tip displays to identify its purpose or function. When you need more complete information, just point and click the Help icon that displays in every dialog. And if you're not in a dialog or not sure what you're looking for, just pick Help on This Page from the top-level menu.

CommonSpot displays a scrollable, searchable context-specific Help window that snaps to the right so you can read while you work. Show/hide the Table of Contents, or resize the Help window for your environment. A helpful set of breadcrumbs orients your topic of interest within the information hierarchy, which is always available from the Help left pane. Search all Help collections at once, or expand/collapse a left-pane Table of Contents to browse topics. Like most CommonSpot components, Help is fully customizable.
