The Help Documents menu is a feature which allows iSite Portal Administrators to create and integrate custom Help documents such as User guides, Quick Start guides, training guides, templates, and more into the iSite menus.  These documents can be any document format, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, PDFs, videos, and more.


This functionality gives iSite Portal Administrators the ability to be very specific to users about how to use the iSite software.


The Help Documents menu items will only appear if Help Documents have been created and assigned to appear on the iSite Home Page.  If no Help Documents are assigned to appear on the iSite Home Page, this menu items will not appear on the Help Menu.

How Do I View a Help Document?

To view a Help Document, simply click the Document Name on the menu.  The document will automatically be downloaded to your web browser.  From there, you can open the file with the appropriate viewer.


Please note that you must have the applicable viewer software already downloaded and installed on your computer in order to view Help Documents.  For instance, you must have PDF Reader software installed (such as Fox-It PDF Reader, Adobe PDF Reader, etc.), before you can view a PDF Help Document.
