How Help Determines Which Link To Use

When a user clicks on a help link, CA IdentityMinder performs checks to determine which help URL to use. These checks are made for the most specific case and then become more general. The bundle with the best match to the locale of the user is used.

The order of checks for a help link is as follows:

1. [TaskTag].[PageTag]
2. [TaskTag].@[PageDefinitionTag]
3. *.[PageTag]
4. *.@[PageDefinitionTag]
5. [TaskTag].*
6. *.*

Example:

*.*=http://www.help.com/Wiki.jsp?page=${task}_${page}

Matches anything without a more specific match and includes active task and page tags in the generated help link.

Example:

ModifyUser.Profile=/iam/im/userprofile.html

Matches the Profile tab on the Modify User task and directs the user to the relative URL /iam/im/userprofile.html

Example:

*.@Profile=/iam/im/profile.html

Matches all tabs that are derived from the Profile tab definition without a more specific match and directs the users to the relative URL /iam/im/profile.html.
