Context Sensitive Help & Settings

Introduction

SeedCode offers relevance-ranked, context sensitive help to document some of the most important features of the calendar and to describe some common modifications. You can modify and extend the content here to deliver your own help or policy documentation to your users.

Though most people will get inside the layouts and scripts of SeedCode Calendar Complete to make their own changes and configure the system to their liking, there are a number of settings you can change without getting into the code.

Help & Documentation

Built-In. You can find our built in documentation in the Admin section of the software. Filtering the documentation for a word ("delete" in this example) brings up the matching entries sorted by relevance.

This content is completely editable and you're able to add, delete, and rearrange entries.

Online. You can find the same documentation online if you find that easier. The online documentation also contains illustrations where applicable.

Context Sensitive. A "?" button available in the upper right corner of almost every screen brings up the same documentation in a floating mini window offering contexts sensitive help for that section of the software.

Settings

Types etc. Many of the "value lists" in SeedCode Calendar are small tables themselves where users can maintain lists of users, appointment types, etc.

Navigation. SeedCode Calendar also employs a novel navigation engine that allows you to easily manage the tabs and layouts available to each user, making it very easy to add new layouts and to rename and rearrange the navigation tabs without having to touch every layout. You can even teach the navigation about layouts in other files. Best of all, you can still use FileMaker's built in Access Privileges to control access to your layouts as our navigation engine "scrubs" the list of possible tabs against access privileges to only show users layouts they are allowed to visit.

Browser like Back and FWD buttons make it easy to get around: something else that is easy to add to new layouts or to your own layouts.
