How to Use the Keystone Help

Keystone includes an integrated, context-sensitive help system. You can open the Help from within Keystone by:

opening the Help tab in the Keystone ribbon and clicking Table of Contents or F1 Help
pressing the F1 key on your keyboard

You can also view other support resources through the MTD Help Center at http://help.morethandata.org.

There are several ways to find the information you need within the help system:

Use context-sensitive help.
You can open Keystone's context-sensitive help in one of two ways: 1) Open the Help tab in the Keystone ribbon and click F1 Help, or 2) press the F1 key. This opens the Help library, generally with information directly related to the screen you are working on. This is known as 'context-sensitive help'. When screens have multiple tabs, the Help information you see will also depend on which tab you are currently using.

Context-sensitive help may not be active when some dialog boxes or secondary windows (like the Add/Modify/Delete windows) are open. Screens in Keystone that do not support context-sensitive help have a narrower border than screens that do. The context-sensitive Help icon is disabled for these screens.

If you select one of the drop-down fields at the top of a particular screen and then open the context-sensitive help as described above, typically you will get general help about the screen you are on. If you select a field on any of the tabs on that screen and then open the help, typically you can get help specific to that tab.

Use hyperlinks in displayed topics.
Most topic pages in the Help include hyperlinks to related information in other topics. You then can use your web browser's back or forward buttons to move between recently-viewed topics.
Use the Table of Contents in the Help library.
The left side of the Help library shows the Table of Contents. Clicking on a book opens it to reveal the books or sections inside. Clicking on a topic's name shows the contents in the main window. When you open topics using hyperlinks in another topic, the Table of Contents adjusts to show your current location.
Search the full text of the Help library.
To search the entire Help library, use the field in the upper-right - labeled Search. Results of your search are shown in the main area of the Help.

Click on a topic in the search results to open it. The terms you used in your search are highlighted in the topic.

You may type numbers or letters in the Search box. Case is not important, and punctuation and other characters are ignored.
To search for multiple words, type each word separated by AND or OR. (Example: Payment AND Delinquent)
To search for a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. (Example: "Payments Due")

You can use the Bookmarks or Favorites feature of your browser to save pages you wish to view again later.

Search just the topic you are viewing.
Press Ctrl+F to use your browser's find function to search within the page you're currently on.

This option only searches the topic you currently have open. It does not search the entire Help library. To search all Help, see "Search the full text of the Help library" above.

Print the Help topic.
You may print a page from the Help library by using your browser's print function.
