The LifeKeeper Online Product Manual is included in the steeleye-lkHLP software package. The Product Manual is HTML-based, and accessed from a web browser. Once the Product Manual is installed, "help" topics are accessible from the Table of Contents in the Help menu of the LifeKeeper GUI. Context-sensitive Help is accessible from "Help" buttons within the GUI dialog boxes.
The Online Product Manual can be accessed outside the GUI by opening the URL for the GUI product manual web page, http://[server name]:81/help/lksstart.htm, directly from your browser.
Note: The Online Product Manual requires a web server for client browser communication. Installation of the LifeKeeper GUI will install and configure a public domain web server, mhttpd, using port 81.
The Product Manual uses frames and is composed of a left and right pane.
The left pane contains three tabs:
The Contents tab is a Table of Contents with expandable books and individual "help" topics. To open/expand or close/collapse a book, double-click its title. To view a topic, click its title.
The Index tab consists of a list of words and phrases. To view a topic or list of topics associated with a word or phrase in the index, double-click the word or phrase. Or enter the first characters of a word to jump directly to that section of the Index.
The Search tab allows you to enter a word or phrase. Click Find to create a list of topics containing that text. To view a specific topic in the returned list, double-click on that topic.
The following figures show sections of the Index and Search tabs.
The right pane displays the individual topics. There are four buttons at the top of each topic:
Click the (Previous) and (Next) buttons that are located at the top of each topic to browse topics appearing in a predefined sequence. Topics may also contain links to related topics.
Click your browser’s Back button to go to the last topic viewed.
Click the button to hide the left navigation pane if you want more viewing space for the topics, or click the button to show the left navigation pane when it is in the hidden state.
If you have arrived at a topic by a method other than selecting from the Table of Contents, you can re-synchronize the "help" file to show where you are in the Table of Contents by clicking .
