Getting help

File Manager offers two levels of help information: context-sensitive field information and Tutorial Help. The field help information provides a description of your current field, lists the valid values or range of values that can be entered, and gives the default field value where applicable. Tutorial Help is a context-sensitive help system that provides detailed explanations of the File Manager panels and the processes in which they are used. In addition, all error messages have an associated full text explanation, which can help you to determine the cause of a problem.
