Associating an Axiom form with a help code

You can associate an Axiom form with a custom form help code, in order to display form-specific help text when users are in the form.

When a form-level help code is specified, the help icon in the right-hand side of the Web Client task bar opens a help panel to show the associated help text, instead of opening Axiom Software Help.

Users can still open Axiom Software Help as needed by clicking the link at the top of the panel.

The form-level help code can be used by itself, or in conjunction with Form Help components placed within the form itself. For example, you may have overall help text that applies to the entire form, and then context-sensitive help text for specific sections or specific inputs within the form itself.

NOTE: The form-level help code cannot be used with embedded forms. Only the help code for the parent form will be used in this case.

To specify a help code for an Axiom form:

From the top of the Form Assistant task pane or the Form Designer dialog, click Edit form properties.
In the Form Properties dialog, enter a code into the Help Code field. The code must match a form help code defined in the Form Help Admin area of the Web Client.

TIP: You can also specify a help code by editing the HelpCode field at the top of the Form Control Sheet.
