Documentation


APPX provides screens to document each process as an integral part of its definition. When you create a process, you define:

User documentation. The text you enter on these screens is the basis for APPX's online help facility. An example is shown below. (User documentation can also be directly maintained using the Documentation Management option from the APPX Main Menu, as described in the System Management Manual.)

Technical documentation. The text you enter on these screens provides additional technical documentation.

Each User and Technical Documentation screen includes specifications that identify the process being documented, and provides 18 lines of up to 78 characters to explain the process. The External Copy feature lets you access other documentation records and copy them into User and Technical Documentation screens.

When you enter text in any of the documentation screens, APPX provides a number of editing functions, including word-wrap, text insertion, text redisplay, and end paragraph control. Refer to the User Manual for a discussion of text editing capabilities.
