Help Menu

The Help Menu has two options: 'Help' and 'About STEP'.

Help

The 'Help' option opens the STEP documentation in your default web browser.

If configured to authenticate, you will be prompted to enter a STEP username and password before online help is displayed. To enable this functionality, the property OnlineHelp.Documentation.Authentication.Enabled=true must be added it to the sharedconfig.properties file. Authentication is disabled by default.

Note: The authentication option will not work with any Single Sign On (SSO) solutions other than LDAP.

When you are done with online help, you should click the Logout button located on the far right of the online help toolbar. Upon logging out, you will be taken back to the documentation login screen.

If authentication is disabled, the Logout button will still display. In this scenario, clicking on the button will take you to the STEP Online Help welcome page.

About STEP

The 'About STEP' option displays the workbench introductory window.
