Configuring help content

By default, minimal help is installed with the product, and you access help content from a remote site. You can also install and configure help content on your computer or on a server on your network.

The help delivery system is packaged as an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) help application and is installed with Rational® DOORS®. The help application contains the basic help infrastructure that is required to run a help system and minimal product-specific information. By default, you access the help content from the remote IBM® Knowledge Center on the Internet.

Alternatively, you can install the help content locally on your computer, or you can download and deploy it on a help server on your network. If you deploy the help on a local server, each team member can configure their Rational DOORS client to access the help on that server.

Regardless of which configuration you use, you can click Help > Contents and Index in the Rational DOORS client to open the help.
