Web parameters change the behavior of the web clients that connect to the web tier. For more information, see Web tier parameters.

Parameter

viewcontexthelp

Description

This parameter enables the web client to display the same context-sensitive help debug information (field) in field help as the Windows client. To enable this feature, append viewcontexthelp=true to the web client URL for current user or set it in the web tier configuration files (web.xml or webtier.properties) for all users.

Note This feature is only supported for the Power User mode (index.do).

Yes if set from the web tier configuration file
