Getting Help

Horde groupware uses a simple help system to provide general as well as context sensitive help. Most pages will have a help icon in the menu bar at the top of the page. For example, the email application menu bar might look like the following.

Clicking on the help icon will create a window showing all the available help topics for the current application. The window is laid out very simply, with List Help Topics located in the upper left corner of the window, and About... in the upper right corner. About... shows some basic information about the application include its module name and version. List Help Topics allows you to view all the available topics. Clicking on a topic heading in the list will show the help information for that topic.

In addition to the help icon in the application menu bar, there may also be small help icons within the pages for context sensitive help. These icons look like small question marks inside a box and are located adjacent to the object they provide help on, as shown below.

Clicking on one of these icons will take you to the same help file as the help icon in the menu bar, but it will take you directly to a specific help topic rather than an index of the available topics.
