Using WebHelp - Offline and Online

This format of the AE documentation requires a Web browser. Double-clicking the HELP.HTM file will display the AE documentation in your default browser.
In addition you find the latest Automic WebHelp documentation for all products at docs.automic.com

The Automation Engine Documentation is displayed in the form of individual HTML pages. You can:

Find documents in the table of contents.
Find documents with full-text search.
Print individual documents.
Open index in a new tab.

The Contents tab contains the contents of the AE documentation in a tree-view of the directory structure. It includes all the individual books that can be opened and contain further books or documents.

Click on a book to open or close it. A click on a document in the TOC displays its contents in the browser window.

If you click on a hyperlink that is shown in a document, the new document displays in a browser window. The TOC also shows the position where the open document is available.

Searching

You can search through the entire documentation using the search field in the top right-hand corner of the WebHelp. Enter one or more search terms in the field and start the search either by clicking the magnifying glass icon or using the Enter key. The search results are displayed in a separate document.

Uppercase and lowercase letters are not distinguished (not case-sensitive).
You can use any combination of letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).
You can search for several words. The following combinations can be used: AND relations (separators: AND, +, &), OR relations (blank or | can be used as a separator) and negations (^ character in front of the term, NOT will not work).
To combine search operators and expressions, use ( ). Example: term1 AND (term2 OR term3)
Variant endings will be found (example: search for run and running, runner and runtime also will be found)
Search results will be highlighted
Wildcards are not supported.
Punctuation marks that are used in the word (such as a dot, colon, semi colon, comma or hyphen) have the effect that the searched term is split into two words.

Printing

It is possible to print individual pages from a book. Display the document you want to print and click the Print button in the bar at the top.

Glossary

All terms from the index are listed in the Index tab in alphabetical order. Click any term in the index and its definition will be displayed directly below. If you click again, the description will disappear. It is also possible to open the description of more than one term within the index at the same time.

This index list is available in WebHelp as well as in the document Index.
