Implement In-Application Support

End users access in-application support in one of two ways. The first is via a help link, button, or menu item in the recorded target application. This option is called help integration and requires an application administrator to make minor configuration changes in the target application to enable the Player context-sensistive help. The second option, called SmartHelp, is to install a toolbar button in a browser in which a user launches the target application. This is installed as a browser add-on and may require the help and approval of your Information Technology resources.

These are the steps for implementing in-application support. You may or may not need to perform all of them, depending on the target application that your audience will be using.

Obtain content that has been created and published in the Developer.
Configure content with the In-Application Support (IAS) Configuration Utility.
Deploy content on a server.
Configure the target application for help integration (if applicable for the target application your audience will be using).
Install SmartHelp, if it is applicable for the application your audience will be using.

Refer to the following table to determine the method your application supports.

Note: SmartHelp is available for Browser-based applications as long as the toolbar is available.
