Accessing a custom help file by using a profile

To access your custom help file from within the product, you have to set properties to identify and locate your custom help file and map file. Then for an element associated with the New Term stereotype in the IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® profile for your project, when a user presses F1 to call a help topic, your custom help file would open instead of the main help file.

About this task

Note: This feature is applicable for a project that has a profile with a New Term stereotype defined for the profile.

As referred to by Rational Rhapsody, a custom help file consists of a help file and a map file, both of which you must create. There might be times when you have a project for which you would like to access your own help file. For example, your company might create its own help file to document its project terminology and project/corporate standards.

Keep in mind that the product provides you with an extensive help file that always displays when there is no custom help file available.

Note: IBM is not responsible for the content of any custom help file and map file.

The creation, functioning, testing, and maintenance of a custom help file and map file are the responsibilities of the creators of these files.
