Set Help Preferences

You can specify the Help preferences that affect the way online help is displayed and determine whether an external browser is used to display help information.

Note: If you do not specify use of an external help browser, CA SymDump uses an internal panel to host the web browser.

To specify the help preferences

1. Select Window, Preferences.

   The Preferences dialog opens.

2. Select Help.

   The Preferences dialog opens the Help page.

3. Change the default settings for the following fields to suit your needs:
   • Open help search

     Specifies whether to open the help search page in a dynamic view panel or in a browser window.

     Default: In a dynamic help view

   • Open help contents

     Specifies whether to open the help contents page in the help browser window or in an external browser window.

     Default: In the help browser

   • Open window context help

     Specifies whether to open the context help for windows in a dynamic view panel or in a pop-up information box.

     Default: In a dynamic help view

   • Open dialog context help

     Specifies whether to open dialog context help in a dynamic help window or in a pop-up information box.

     Default: In dialog tray

4. Click Apply to save the settings. Click OK.

CA SymDump saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding logon sessions unless you change the preferences again.

Note: You can restore the default configuration settings anytime on the Preferences dialog. To restore the default settings, click Restore Defaults, click Apply, and then click OK.
