Viewing the pattern help documentation

You can open help files for patterns and parameters in the Pattern Explorer view. The documentation opens in the Help window and provides a good way to compare multiple pattern capabilities and requirements.

Nested under a top level library file for each RAS pattern asset, are a Parameters, a Description, and an Overview help file. These files are also available from the Apply Pattern wizard when applying a pattern by clicking the View Pattern Documentation button.

Four files contain information that you can use to apply or organize patterns. Each RAS pattern asset has a top level library file that contains a Parameters, a Description, and an Overview help file. These files are also available from the Apply Pattern wizard when applying a pattern by clicking the View Pattern Documentation button.

To view the pattern help files in the Help window:

In the Pattern Explorer view, right-click a pattern or parameter, and click Show Pattern Documentation.
