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 InterTest uses an internal panel to host the web browser.

To specify the help preferences

1. Select Window, Preferences.

   The Preferences dialog opens.

2. Double-click Help.

   The Preferences dialog opens the Help page.

3. Change the default settings for the following fields to suit your needs:
   • Use external browser

     Specifies the use of an external browser to display online help.

     Default: Off

   • 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.
5. Click OK.

CA InterTest saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding debug 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.
