Adding a Help Tab
SharePoint includes a Help system for users, but strangely does not feature it in any of the built-in site templates. In fact Help is kind of hidden in SharePoint, so I generally add a Help tab to any new site collection I set up.
To add a tab for SharePoint Help in WSS:
1. Follow the steps in either “Changing the Link Bar in WSS” to add a tab to the link bar.
2. Use the following URL for the link address (be sure to omit http://):
javascript:HelpWindowKey("NavBarHelpHome")
You can’t add that URL to the top link bar in MOSS, so use these instructions to add a Help tab in MOSS:
1. Follow the steps in either “Changing the Link Bar and QuickLaunch in MOSS” to add a tab to the link bar.
2. In the Navigation Link webpage dialog, use the following URL:
/_layouts/help.aspx?Key=NavBarHelpHome
3. Select Open link in new window and click OK.
The SharePoint Help system provides instructions on how to create and use lists, libraries, sites, and create formulas. It is a pretty good alternative to the “Dummies” books published for SharePoint users and (even better) it is free.
