Portable Document Format (PDF)

This format is viewed online with Adobe Acrobat Reader. It offers full, online, text searching. PDF Files are optimized for printing.

WebHelp

WebHelp is an online Help format which is fully functional across multiple platforms and browsers. In SunSystems, WebHelp is available in both the SunSystems Web Client, and in Infor Workspace. The WebHelp provides SunSystems Help contents and search, by clicking the Help button on the toolbar; context sensitive topics from all SunSystems functions, by clicking F1, and full text searching.

The Help provides details of day to day operational tasks for SunSystems. The tasks detailed are those normally expected of a SunSystems user.

When using SunSystems there are many ways to carry out a given task. SunSystems documentation does not necessarily outline every route for each task. Therefore, if you are an experienced SunSystems user you may find more convenient or appropriate approaches, depending on the circumstances of the task and your own personal preferences.

SunSystems forms may be designed so that Actions are available from a number of different sources, however, the Help describes all actions available from the Action menu. SunSystems is extremely customizable. SunSystems documentation is therefore written assuming all default selections were accepted during installation and no subsequent modifications have been made. Within SunSystems there are many levels of access rights. SunSystems documentation assumes you have all necessary rights for the task being performed.

Text Searching in WebHelp

Full text searching is possible in WebHelp, with the ability to:
  • search for single words.
    Note: This also includes grammatical variations, for example, select will find occurrences of selection, selector, selects, selecting, and so on.
  • search by phrases, by surrounding with '"' quotes.
  • use wildcards ? question mark for single characters and * asterisk for multiple characters.
  • use operators: AND, OR, NOT and NEAR.
    Note: NEAR signifies within eight words.
  • use up to five levels of nested expressions. For example, receipt AND ((stock or inventory) NEAR details).
    Note: The |, &, and ! characters do not work as Boolean operators. Use OR, AND and NOT.
