Each item of a checklist may be linked to a help file, containing additional information about the specific test task, such as constraints, procedure steps, and the like. At present, RayQC allows to add RTF and PDF files as help files.
|
Be aware: Whilst RTF files are displayed by an integrated viewer, PDF files may not be accessible on all evaluator systems. An external PDF viewer application is required to open PDF help files, e. g. Adobe Reader. |
If an item has a help file link, a question mark icon is displayed at the right-hand side of the item box within the Checklist Viewer interface. As soon as a user clicks the icon, an additional application window is launched, displaying the content of the linked help file. In case, no help file is linked to the element, an error message is shown when this icon is clicked upon.
|
Note: Help files have to be added to a checklist before they can actually be used within elements. Please refer to the information provided within the section about the supporting files tab of the Editor interface for instructions how to manage help files. |

2.Activate the properties tab of the details pane on the right.

Note: Removing the relation between a help file and an element does not remove the help file from the pool of supporting files stored within the checklist container. Removing a help file from the container has to be executed by the controls provided within the supporting files tab of the Checklist Editor interface. |
