Custom help page for Custom Page

Posted on by Jeroen J

Hi dear reader,
Because of the way-too-common keywords in my quest, searching has failed me so far.

I build this neat custom page and unleashed it in my Model Driven App. Beautiful way to merge Canvas App possibilities with MDA!

But, since the custom page obviously isn't an entity eeeerm I mean a table, I don't know how to relay the ? in the top right corner to a specific help URL. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jeroen

Hi @jonckhje,

I just took a try and I was able to add a custom help page to a custom table:
Try to open the help pane from a table first, then navigate to the custom page and try to open de help pane again.

That does look like what I'm looking for. But, where did you add this custom help page?
So far I didn't know any other place but the entity properties:

But of course a custom page doesn't have those entity settings....

@jonckhje Ah, that is a different kind of help page 🙂

The one I am using is the custom help panes.
Find here what they are: Create guided help for your Unified Interface app
Find here how to enable them: Enable custom help panes for your environment
Please note that you can enable custom help panes or customizable help, but not both at the same time.

The Global URL is used when the URL is not set in the entity settings. Additional parameters will be appended when 'Append Parameters to URL' is set to `Yes`.

I tried this with custom pages, but only the user language is passed as a parameter. Unfortunately, 'typename' is missing.
