 Help Link

Adeptia Connect also enables you to configure the Help Link Text and URL to redirect a user to a help document other than the Adeptia Connect Help. This feature allows you to configure the Help Link and Text for all the users globally or for an individual user based on the role.

You can modify the Help Text and URL for the followings features in Adeptia Connect;

  • Connect Portal Help Link
  • Process Designer Help Link
  • Data Mapper Help Link
  • Layout Builder Help Link

This features is of great use when you want to limit the access for users to the help pages for specific features instead of allowing them to access the entire Adeptia Connect Help documentation. And the configuration in terms of links and text varies depending upon the application components, for example, while you can change both the Help Text and URL for the Connect Portal, you can change only the URL for other features.

A partner user can only modify the URL and not the Text for the Connect Portal Help Link.

  1. In edit mode, click to expand HELP LINK and then CONNECT PORTAL HELP LINK.

Similarly you can modify the Help URL for other features appearing in the HELP LINK menu.

Configuring the Help Text and URL based on an individual user's role

Perform the following steps to configure the Connect Portal Help Link Text and URL:

  1. Go to Account and click Roles
  2. On the next screen, for a specific user, click More and select Other Policies.
