Using the Scenario 360 help system

When you want to learn how to perform a specific task in Scenario 360 or need more information about a related concept, use the Scenario 360 Help system. You can get help in a variety of ways:


 

 


 

 

Getting help using tooltips and the What's This? button

A quick way to learn what the Scenario 360 application can do is to get help about the buttons and menu commands you see in the application window. To do this, position the mouse pointer over a button or menu command for a second or two.  The name of the item will then pop up in a small box. Simultaneously, a brief description appears in the status bar at the bottom of the application window. To quickly display a longer description of a Scenario 360 toolbar button or menu command, click the What's This? button  on the ArcMap toolbar, then click the button or menu item you're interested in.

 

Getting help using the Scenario 360 help system

The Scenario 360 help system contains a navigation pane—with Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary tabs—and a topic pane for viewing help topics. Both panes are visible in the viewer at all times, allowing you to keep track of where you are in the Contents structure of the help system. You can move or resize the navigation or topic windows at any time.

 

The topics in the Scenario 360 help system are organized around the main tasks you want to complete; they also provide the concepts behind the tasks. Use the help Contents to look up general topics and see how they are organized. You can search through the Index by entering keywords that identify your task. Alternatively, use the Search option to find specific words or phrases in the help topics.

 

Right-click in a help topic to display and use the shortcut menu for printing help or copying text in topics.

 

You can turn off the highlighting feature for search words by clicking the Options menu at the top of the help window then click Search Highlight Off.
