Displaying context-sensitive help

Select Field/Schema help from the Help menu or the help tool bar button to display help on the current field or active link. The cursor changes to an arrow and a question mark. Then, select the field, active link button or anywhere within the schema. To display help on an active link tied to a field, select the field. To display help on an active link tied to the schema (an active link that triggers when you an AR is submitted or when a query is issued), select anywhere within the schema. This help contains such information as the name of the field, the field ID, the data type, the maximum length of the field as well as any help text supplied by your AR System administrator.

This is an example of the Field/Schema Help dialog box:
