instructionStep Instruction instructionStep steps

menu_sm Menu action instructionStep steps

 

Throughout the help you'll find instruction steps like this:

 

Filter... instructionStep shows the session comparison private filters dialog
 

or

 

menu Settings Menu instructionStep Edit Settings... instructionStep Data Collection in the list instructionStep Trace Hooks

 

This is a shorthand notation for performing consecutive steps in the user interface.

 

The first example indicates that the action of clicking the Filter...  will result in showing the dialog described.

 

The second example directs you to open the Settings menu (from the menu bar in this case), and then choose the Edit Settings item, and in the dialog that appears, open the Data Collection option via the list and select the Trace Hooks child entry.

 

 

right_mouse_buttonRight mouse button menu

 

Where you see this mouse menu the instruction is to use the right mouse button menu (a.k.a. popup menu or context menu) and select the menu option that follows this symbol.

 

For example: useright_mouse_buttonEdit Source Code...

 

 

interactive Interactive images

Shown next to a picture, the hand symbolinteractive indicates the image is interactive and can be clicked on in order to jump directly to the help section most relevant to the part of the image under the cursor.

 

 

externalLink External Links

 

You may see this symbol externalLink after some links. Those links lead to an external website (shown in your default browser), as opposed to jumping to another section in the help. Naturally, if you have no internet access, these links will be unavailable.

 

For example: Software Verify LimitedexternalLink

 

 

note Notes

warningnote Warning notes

 
Notes pertaining to the current topic are indicated by the note symbol. Notes may include exceptions to a rule, items to watch out for, or other asides to the main topic.

 

Notes that act as warnings will use the similar warningnote symbol, for example where there's a danger of crashing your application. Don't panic though - there aren't many of these!
