Online Documentation Improvements
This release provides significant improvements to the IOF online documentation.
Online Quick Reference Guide
The QR command provides access to an online replacement for the old Quick Reference Card. The QR command can be entered from any IOF panel and dynamically adapts to display only the features that are allowed for each user.
There are concise descriptions at the highest level but you can also nest down to detailed HELP information for any topic.
HELP BR Command
Enter the BR command on a HELP menu panel to browse all of the topics under that panel as a single document. You have all the features of IOF browse, so you can issue FIND commands to locate specific information.
Action Area on HELP Menu Panels
In addition to menu numbers, there are action areas beside each selectable menu item on HELP menus. This allows you to use the “S” line command to nest to lower level HELP panels.
Simplified HELP Panels
In addition to the enhancements above, many individual HELP panels have been improved and simplified to make the online HELP easier to use.
