BaanERP Help Files
When creating helptexts within Baan, they are created as Baan Help text. However these texts will be displayed as Windows Help text in viewing and read only mode. Therefor Windows Help should be installed and compiled correctly, so you must take the following steps to get it seen.

For adding help text to Baan you must have Microsoft Help Workshop. This is not delivered by Baan.

First make sure you have a Help Group, which is valid for your package combination and the language the helptext should be available.

That Help Group must also be connected to the users User Data Template (e.g. create template DEMHELP and link it to the user(s)) who needs the help.

There must be a reference to a valid directory on the PC for later on placing the Windows Help files.

You enter for example a text in a Business Process.
After some time you decide you want to see those texts as help-texts. 
Then you go to the session Help Groups. Mark your Help Group and go to the subsession "Create Help Files".

You then go to the subsession "Compiler Options" (be aware you need Microsoft Help Workshop on your PC for this).

You then mark the line for package ED and then choose the option "Generate Topic Files".
After that you mark the line for package ED again and choose the option "Compile Topic Files".
This will start the Microsoft Help Workshop on your PC.
You then say Save and Compile.

When the compilation is ready, the Microsoft Help Workshop windows popups again with messages. When you exit this windows you get a Baan message asking if the compilation was alright. Say YES and the files will be placed on the server.

You then mark the line for package ED again and choose the option "Download Help Files"
This will download the files into the Help Directory mentioned in your User Data Template on your PC.

Then you start for example the session "Business Processes by Project Model" and activate the option "View Repository Help".
(It speaks for itself, that you choose a Business Process with Repository Help present)
It will then show you the Windows Help Display.
