## 2.11. Getting Help

EKM provides you with interactive help that you can invoke from within the program. There are two types of help that are accessible from the EKM user interface:

- Contextual help provides help on how to fill out a dialog box or wizard. This help is available when you click the help button in any dialog box.

- Online help provides access to EKM documentation. You can access online help by clicking in the top right corner of the application window.

  The Getting Started Guide provides summary information on how you get started setting up and using EKM. It provides links to other sections in the user documentation guides and is a good place to go when you want to get a “big picture” view of EKM. The User's Guide is for all users and provides detailed information on how to use EKM once it is installed, set up, and configured. The Administration Guide is for EKM `admin` users and describes how to configure an EKM server and perform other `admin` actions on an EKM server, once it is installed and set up. The Installation Guide is for EKM `admin` users and describes how to install and set up an EKM server.

  When you select the About option, a dialog box opens with information about the software release.

Note:

- The Administration Guide and Installation Guide are only displayed on the help menu if you are an `admin` user.

- If you are working in a job-only view, only User's Guide and About are available on the help menu. Selecting User's Guide displays the Managing Jobs chapter of the User's Guide.
