You can read Autoline online help by clicking a Help button, toolbar icon or by pressing F1. Autoline's online help assumes that you have a working knowledge of computers. Although designed to be easy to use there are some points to bear in mind when using the online help.
There is a selection of navigation buttons at the top and bottom of most help pages.
Button Name Description Table of Contents page Lists all help topics for the module you are in Previous Takes you to the previous page in Table of Contents order Next Takes you to the next page in Table of Contents order Top of the page Returns you to the top of the current page
Note: The previous and next buttons operate differently from your browser's forward and back buttons (and keyboard equivalents). The help page's own back button does not necessarily return you to the page you came from. Clicking the previous and next buttons is analogous to turning the pages of a printed manual.
Hyperlinks (links) are underlined text on a help page. Text hyperlinks and hyperlinks as buttons at the top and bottom of the page, enable you to read other help pages. Clicking on any underlined link takes you to a subject related to your task. There are also related subjects in See also and Related Topics.
Note: A link may be to a different help page, a different place on the same page, or to a page in a different help module. In the last case the page is displayed in a new browser window.

Autoline's online help system is modular, reflecting the nature of Autoline itself.
The Table of Contents page for each module lists that module's help topics only.
Online help often describes a form and the form's functions and, where possible, includes procedural instructions.
Instructions are in numbered steps, to help distinguish them from form descriptions.
You can use your browser's Search facility (usually CTRL-S) to search for a particular word in an online Help page.
Frequently Asked Questions provides a quick reference guide.
The Glossary explains many technical terms used in Autoline.
