You can view the bookshelf in the following ways:

Through the Help menu in the CA Process Automation browser-based UI. The Book Shelf link is typically to the bookshelf on CA Support. If you are working in an environment without Internet access, the person who installs CA Process Automation provides a local copy that the Book Shelf link accesses.
Through the bookshelf “quick” link on the home tab of the CA Process Automation browser-based UI.
If CA Process Automation is not open, you can download it from CA Support.
Log in is not required. Select Documentation and then select CA Process Automation, the release number, and language from the Select a Bookshelf drop-down list. Click Go to open the bookshelf.

The online help provides CA Process Automation workflows that can help you understand who does what and when. The scenario-based content provides drill-down information about lifecycle tasks that administrators, content designers, and production users perform. Additionally, you can get context-sensitive help for each operator on the Designer tab canvas. Context-sensitivity is at the tab level for the other tabs.
