How to Add a URL Link to Your Help

Last updated 9/10/2023

There are two methods to provide help to your users for your application. You can either add your help content in the Help Text field, or you can provide a URL link for documentation that you may have saved externally. This documentation will explain how you can add a URL link to provide assistance to your users.

When a user clicks the Help button in the toolbar of your application, your help will open in a new browser tab. The Help URL field will take precedence over the Help Text field if you provide help in both fields.
