Only targeted applications that have been recorded and
published to a Player will appear in the Applications Options list.
Click the PeopleSoft Enterprise

Displayed are options to configure a gateway page. A
gateway page is a tabbed, html page that appears when the integrated help
link is used and multiple sources of help are configured.
Additional sources of help might include the original help
for the target application, additional Player packages or a URL to a web
site.
|
|
9.
|
The first tab on the gateway page is the UPK Player.
The Default Player Tab Text field is an editable field that can be
changed to a custom name.
|
|

If you want to include additional resources on your gateway
page (which appear as separate tabs), you can choose a type for the Type
drop-down list.

|
You can use hyperlinks to launch additional sources of
help. These hyperlinks appear under their own tab inside the
gateway.
The Link Menu Text field allows you to add a custom
name to this tab.
|
|
16.
|
The fields under the Links section allows you to specify
the Type of link, Link Text and URL.
Some help sources are not capable of being embedded into a
gateway page and must be hyperlinked. One such example of this is
PeopleBooks.
|
|

The options under the Configure Multi-Language Content
section allow you to configure help to launch the appropriate content you may
have developed in multiple languages.
This feature is only available for certain target
applications.
