HELP ENTRIES


Info
titleOverview

Administrators can add additional help entries within the 'Help' or '?' icon for most modules within Lucidity Software. This function can be useful to relay additional, organisation specific information for users in the form of links to additional URL's, documents or text. 

INTRODUCTION

The Help icon within each Lucidity module is located in the top right hand corner and is accessible to all users.

Image Modified

These can be managed by administrators from the Help Entries page within the Lucidity Access module.

Image Added

From the Help Entries page, administrators can:

  • View default help entries
  • Create and manage help entries

Default Help Entries

By default, most pages within Lucidity will have three entries in the Help drop-down:

  • User Guide - Direct link to the user manual for the module the user is currently accessing (cannot be edited or deleted)
  • Support Page - Link to the Lucidity Help CentreCentre (cannot be edited or deleted)
  • Add / Edit - Only visible to Administrators

Info
titleHelp within the Intranet module

The Intranet module Help is slightly different. A single ? icon is displayed which is a direct link to the Intranet user guide. 

As the Intranet module includes a Management System for housing documents, it is recommended that company specific help is added directly to the management system pages.

A 'Help entries' tab is located within the navigation bar in the Access module as shown below, which enables centralised management of all Help entries.

From the Help entries tab, new entries for the Help drop down can be added to each specific module. 

To create a hew Help menu entry, click the Add New link in the list of Help Entries as shown below.  Help can also be added by going to he specific page where the new help entry should display, and clicking the 'Add/Edit' item in the Help drop down (also shown below).

Visible once a new help entry has been created, or when editing, the popover screen enables the type of help entry to be determined, and allows the content to be created.  Note the Disabled checkbox, which can be used when drafting a new help entry.

The Current / All Pages function determines whether the help entry data is viewed on all pages or just the current page.

  • Competency: Training booking form
  • InForm: Annual leave policy 
  • Contractor: link to Contractor portal

There are two ways help entries can be added: from the Help Entry page within Lucidity Access or from the Add/Edit option in the help drop-down.
