Help Text for individual iViews

[Former Member]

I need to display help text for individual iViews. I enabled the "Help" link on the individual iView such that "Help" now displays in the iView tray. However, when I click on "Help", the portal returns, "Sorry, no help available".

Preferably, I would like to retrieve this help text from an external URL.

What do I need to do to enable this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey I found this somewhere on SDN

<b>As a simple workaround you can edit the portalapp.xml of the effected *.par-File:

<component-profile>

<property name="com.sap.portal.iview.HelpURL" value="http://www.sap.com">

<property name="personalization" value="no-dialog"/> <property name="category" value="MyCategory"/>

</property>

</component-profile>

Now the property is visible again in the iView - Properties.</b>

Guess itz tested by Gregor.

Try it out..Let me know.

Regards.

Hi Peter,

Found your answer through search, and it works very well!

Is there anyway to control the size of the popup window after clicking the help item?

Thanks in advance,

Rasmus
