Determine whether help exists for a field

Service Manager may not display help that is available for a field when you press Ctrl+H in the Windows client or F1 in the Web client.
To determine the complete list of help records for a field, if there are any, you must search the help table.

  1. Type help in the Service Manager command line and press Enter.
  2. Specify your search criteria.
    • To search for help on a field in a table, specify the Field Name and the Table Name.
    • To search for help on all fields in a table, specify the Table Name.
    • To search for help on a field in a form, or if you don't know the table, specify the Field Name.
  3. Click Search or press Enter.

Service Manager returns records that match your query, if there are any.
