User assistance

This topic provides information about the user assistance in the SAN File System console.

You can access both the Help Assistant and the SAN File System Information Center through the SAN File System console task bar.

Help Assistant

The Help Assistant provides embedded field-level descriptions corresponding to the items contained on the panels of the SAN File System console. Because the panel help is embedded into the overall console, you can obtain context-sensitive information without interrupting your current activity. Each time you select a different panel, the information in the Help Assistant changes accordingly.

You can launch the Help Assistant by clicking the Toggle Help Assistant icon (Icon representing the action to show the Help Assistant frame, which resembles a box containing a lowercase letter ā€œiā€ with an arrow pointing away from it.) from the right side of the task bar. Because this button performs in a toggle fashion, to hide the Help Assistant, you select the icon once again.

Information Center

An Information Center is a searchable, online, topic-based help system that can be launched from a Web browser. The SAN File System Information Center provides additional SAN File System product documentation.

You can open the Information Center from the SAN File System console by selecting the Launch Information Center icon (Icon representing the action to open the Information Center, which resembles a box containing a question mark.) from the right side of the task bar. Alternately, many of the related topics provided in the Help Assistant frame link you directly to the Information Center.
