Help Text Facility Key Features

The MAC-PAC Help Text Facility provides the following key features:

Context Sensitivity

Help is displayed for the field where the cursor is located.  This feature allows you to find the information you need quickly.  When the help for a particular field is displayed, you can press ENTER to view the help for all fields on the screen.  This allows you to see related information without returning to the application screen and moving the cursor.

Multiple Levels

Extended glossaries provide additional detail about MAC-PAC processing.  A line appears in the text anywhere this additional level of detail is available.  To access the extended text, you simply select this line and press a function key.   

Tailorability

You can modify any of the help text provided with MAC-PAC.  In addition, you can create procedures specific to your organization and tie them to the existing help text through the glossary feature.
