About the Documentation Wiki

From $1

    The Documentation Wiki contains modularized product documentation, meaning that there is a defined place for every piece of information about the product. Extensive hyperlinking allows you to navigate among the related topics to get exactly the information that you need. 

    Benefits of Modularization and Hyperlinking

    By modularizing the content of the product documentation and hyperlinking among the topics, we can keep each piece of content in only one place, rather than repeating it in multiple places. This prevents problems where multiple pieces of content get out of synch and contradict each other.

    These approaches also allow us to provide you with more detailed information without bogging down each topic that you read. For example, if you are reading about the query activity, you can click a hyperlink to the related data view layouts if you need that data, or you can choose to skip it.

     

    How to Use the Documentation WikiEdit section

    There are three primary ways to get to a topic in the Documentation Wiki:

    • Search for a topic by typing a keyword in the search box at the top of the screen and click Find.
    • Look up a topic through the table of contents in the navigation pane on the left.
    • Navigate to a topic by clicking a link in a related topic.

    You might notice that, unlike most wikis, you cannot edit the content on these pages. That's because we're trying to control some of the variables in the project by keeping the content locked down. As the project continues, we'll unlock the content as appropriate.

    Generating PDFs out of the WikiEdit section

    You can generate a PDF of a wiki page using this tool. 

    1. Go to the page that you want in PDF form.
    2. Click the Print page button in the toolbar at the top. 
      A print preview window appears. If the window is blank, continue to the next step anyway.
    3. Click the Save as PDF button at the top of the window.
      The PDF appears.
    4. Click the floppy disk icon to save the document to your computer.
