Example 1
The example demonstrates how to assign an English and German topic to the 'Emailtemplate' object type.
- From the 'Valuemation Core' sidebar, open the 'Help Topic Assignments' catalog.
- Right-click anywhere in the catalog and call the 'Create' action. The 'New: Help Topic Assignment' window opens. In the editor, locate the 'Object Type' section and use the 'Plus' button to call the business object type browser.
- A catalog of object types opens. Use it to search for the 'Emailtemplate' object type. Double-click the object type to select it for assignment. The object type browser closes.
- Next, let's assign an English help topic. Go to the 'helpTopicMappings' reference catalog at the bottom of the editor and call right-click action 'Create'. The 'New: Help Topic Mapping' window opens.
- In the 'New: Help Topic Mapping' editor, select 'English' from the Language drop-down box.
- Click the 'Plus' button in the help topic section. A catalog of existing topics in the English help folder opens. Use it to select a suitable topic.
As of Valuemation Help 4.6 v3, the suitable English topic for the 'Emailtemplate' object type would be topic 15212.htm called 'Email Templates'. - Click 'Ok' at the bottom of the 'New: Help Topic Mapping' window. The English topic mapping is created.
- Back in the 'New: Help Topic Assignment' window, go to the 'helpTopicMappings' reference catalog and call the 'Create' right-click action again. The 'New: Help Topic Mapping' window opens for creation of another mapping.
- Select 'Deutsch' from the Language drop-down box.
- Click the 'Plus' button in the help topic section. A catalog of existing topics in the German help folder opens. Use it to select a German topic corresponding to the English topic selected in step 6 above.
As of Valuemation Hilfe 4.6 v3, the corresponding topic would be topic 27433.htm called 'E-Mail-Vorlagen'. See 'The Same Topic in Different Languages' for an explanation of the relationship between different language versions of the same topic. - Click 'Ok' at the bottom of the 'New: Help Topic Mapping' window. The German topic mapping is created.
- If only English and German assignment is needed, click the 'Ok' button at the bottom of the 'New: Help Topic Mapping' window. Otherwise, proceed according to steps 8 - 11 modified for another language.
The result of this assignment:
Whenever a catalog or an editor of the 'Emailtemplate' object type is opened and in focus, pressing F1 calls the assigned topic unless a more detailed help topic assignment exists (i.e. an assignment for the specific catalog/editor or the currently used workflow/workflow node).
- When English is the current GUI language, topic 15212.htm gets displayed.
- When German is the current GUI language, topic 27433.htm gets displayed.
