Online help

The DME server is delivered with a set of documentation files in HTML format. By default, the files are installed on a server made available for this purpose by Soliton Systems. If you need to host the files yourself (for instance due to firewall restrictions), please contact your DME partner.

To access the documentation, click the icon in the DME toolbar or in the right-hand side of a panel section header:

The online help is context sensitive, meaning that the help page you see will match the place from which you clicked the help icon. For instance, if you click the help icon from the DME toolbar in the Server tab, you will receive help for the Server tab. If you click the panel item help icon from the Client panel item on the Server tab, you will receive help for that topic.

When the help page is open, you can browse to other topics using the table of contents, look up indexed terms, or search for terms anywhere in the documentation. The numbers in the illustration refer to the list below:

1. With these buttons, you can:
   • Click Home to go to the documentation home page.
   • Click Previous to go the previous topic.
   • Click Next to go to the next topic.
2. With these buttons, you can:
   • Send a link to the current topic to a colleague or client.
   • Send feedback regarding the current topic to the Soliton Systems documentation department (which is most welcome!).
   • Print the current topic.
3. Search the entire reference manual. The search currently does not support advanced search criteria, but finds a list of topics containing the word or words entered in the Search box.
