The first tool is the table of contents.

The table of contents organizes MiSACWIS tasks into "books," which are arranged by functional areas.

When you click a book icon, the tasks in an area are displayed, and specific topics in the help system appear as "pages."

Clicking a specific topic opens the instructions for that task.

The second tool, the Search feature, searches the entire online help system for a particular word or phrase.

If you type a phrase, the Search feature searches for topics that contain all the words in that phrase no matter what the order.

You can select an item from the resulting topic list to view the related help topic.

Finally, there is also a glossary. The glossary contains the MiSACWIS terms for reference, providing definitions of the key terms and abbreviations used in MiSACWIS.

Just click a word, and its definition will appear in the box below the list of terms.
