Context-Sensitive Help

Users can read this help documentation in the conventional way as a guide, or alternatively use the vuShield Security System's unique Context-Sensitive Help system.
This Context-Sensitive Help system is designed to provide users with detailed help at any place within the application. It may be accessed by simply by clicking on the Context-Sensitive Help button in the top right-hand corner of the application's main window as shown below.
The Context-Sensitive Help mode may be turned off by clicking on the Context-Sensitive Help button one more time.
The Context-Sensitive Help mode may also be toggled by typing <SHIFT><F1> key combination at any time.

When this button is clicked the application is placed in a special context-sensitive help mode indicated by the Help-Pointer mouse cursor. Users can then click on any part of the graphical user interface that they require specific information about and a popup help window will appear as shown below.
