About the Online Help File System

The online help system for this application includes two sets of help files, each of which must be installed separately:

  • AppNameCore.zip contains all the files required to access the base, or Core, online help for your application (signified by AppName). This includes all help files both for basic operation and use, plus the help files required for creating customizations using Design Mode, typically by form and application developers.
  • MongooseHelp.zip contains the help files used by the various utilities available to application developers and system administrators, including:
    • Configuration Manager
    • Form Control (stand-alone version)
    • FormSync (stand-alone version)
    • Mongoose Deployment Scripting Utility
    • App Metadata Transport
    • App Metadata Sync
    • IDO Runtime Development Server and Log Monitor
    • Replication Tool
    • Service Configuration Manager

Typically, these help files are unzipped and installed in their default locations during product installation. However, you might want to install them in an alternate location, or you might want to reinstall later updates to ensure that you have the latest version of the help available. (We do periodically update the help between major releases, and we encourage you to check often for and install those updates.)
