Using FileMaker Server Help (Windows
and Mac OS)
FileMaker Server onscreen Help is available when you are working
in the FileMaker Server Console (Windows) or when you are
working with the FileMaker Server application (Mac OS 8.6 to 9.1)
or FMServer Config application (Mac OS X).
If you are administering FileMaker Server remotely (from another
computer on your network), you can use the Help accessed through
the Remote Administration window. For more information, see
“Getting help while administering FileMaker Server remotely” on
page xii.
Starting FileMaker Server Help
Whenever you open FileMaker Server Help, you start the Windows
Help application (Windows), the FileMaker Help Viewer application
(Mac OS 8.6 to 9.1), or Help Viewer (Mac OS X). These help
applications run independently of FileMaker Server.

FileMaker Server Console (Windows) or FileMaker Server
application (Mac OS), do one of the following:
1 Windows: Press F1, click on the toolbar, or choose Action
menu > Help.
The topic you see is dependent on whether FileMaker Server or
Schedules is selected in the Console Tree (left pane of the
FileMaker Server Console). The Help topic displayed is specific to
the area of FileMaker Server you are working with.
1 Mac OS 8.6 to 9.1: Choose FileMaker Server Help from the Help
menu, press the Help key, or press 2-?.
The topic you see is dependent on the window or dialog box that is
open. The Help topic displayed is specific to the area of
FileMaker Server you are working with.
1 Mac OS X: Choose FileMaker Server Config Help from the Help
menu, press the Help key, or press 2-?.
