Help for the Local SMU Application
Help for the local SMU application appears in a modeless window on the client console since there is
no browser available as when running remotely. This means that when you want to return to the local
SMU application, it is necessary to click on some part of the application window. The F1 key can also
be used to toggle between the SMU application window and the help window. Note that since the
application takes up the entire screen and its container is not re-sizeable, the help window is hidden
when the application window is brought to the forefront. The help window is re-sizeable and can be
moved. An example of the local help window is shown below.
Figure 59. SMU Local Help Window
The Help window also has a system menu (available from the upper-left hand corner) that allows the
Help window to be minimized or maximized. In the upper right-hand corner of the Help window are
minimize, maximize and close buttons. The task pane of the Help window can be resized to support
horizontal and vertical scroll bars. However, the task pane cannot be sized larger than half the size
of the containing window.
Note that the information shown in the help window is obtained by running the HTML version of the
help through a translator. Thus, the content should be effectively the same. However, the appearance
is much different, since the local SMU application is not as exible as a browser.
Most individual views displayed in the primary information pane will also have help buttons. Clicking
on a help button causes the help related to that view to be displayed in the help window, and cause
the help window to appear in the foreground.
If the Help window is minimized it can only be brought back up by pressing the F1 key or clicking a
Help button in a view. If the Help window is not active and the F1 key is pressed, the “About SMU”
help page is displayed in the information pane. In general, all keys described in the section on local
SMU keyboard support work for the help window as well as the local SMU application container.
