Set Up Hosted Context-Sensitive Help

Set up your PeopleSoft applications to use this site for context-sensitive help. The hosted PeopleSoft Online Help can search multiple product families and releases and return context-sensitive help from all available resources.

Note: If clicking a Help link on a PeopleSoft application page brought you to this page instead of to actual PeopleSoft online help content, it is likely that your PeopleSoft system is configured to access an older version of online help that is no longer available. You can access a current help library from this page and then search by the application page name. If you are a PeopleSoft system administrator, you can configure context-sensitive help to always display help for the latest application image or PeopleTools patch, so you'll never have to update your help configuration again.

  • Configure Context-Sensitive Help Using the Hosted Online Help Website

Install the Online Help Locally

If your organization has firewall restrictions that prevent you from using the hosted online help, you can install the help locally.

  • Manage Locally Installed PeopleSoft Online Help
