Because Domino Administrator Help is a Notes application, you can use familiar Notes gestures to find information.

To perform basic tasks in Help

• To open Help to the table of contents, choose Help -> Help Topics from the main menu.
• To get help on your current task, choose Help -> Context Help, click the Help button in a dialog box, or click the question mark in a properties box.
• Blue underlined text represents a link to related information. Click blue underlined text to jump to a topic or section that contains this information. To return to where you were, click the Go Back arrow in the window toolbar.
• To find an entry in the Index view of Help, click Index, type as many letters as you want of the entry, and click OK. Click the green icon specific to any index entry to expand its topics.
• To search for a word or phrase in any Help topic, click Search and type your query in the Search bar. You can drag the edge of the Search bar to show more search options.
• To bookmark a topic, right-click anywhere in the topic and choose Bookmark.
• To close Help when Always on Top is selected and a dialog box is open, press ESC.

To get help on your current task, press Command-? or click Help.

Getting Help when there is no Help

If you choose Help -> Help Topics or Help -> Context Help, and see a message saying Help database cannot be located, ask your organization's Domino® administrator to add the Help databases to your mail server, or to provide you with local Help file(s).

Restoring links in Administrator Help after copying or moving the file

If you copy or move the Administrator Help database through your operating system, links in the database may no longer work. If this happens, you can work around the problem by removing the application icon from your workspace, exiting and restarting the Notes or Administrator client, reopening the client, and re-opening the Help database so that it is re-added to the workspace.

Tips for searching an application
In any application, you can search the current view for documents that contain text (a word or phrase) you specify. You can also search for documents using conditions and operators.

Refining a search query using operators
Search operators are words and characters that search for words, fields, dates, and numbers in specific combinations. Search operators work the same way they do in most Web search engines--that is, they are based on Boolean logic--with some very powerful enhancements.
