Help Center Overview
The Help Center offers a
powerful search feature for finding information. Default search information is organized by
tab, to quickly find content relevant to your roles and tasks (Users, Administrators, Developers).
Searching
To search:
- Type a word or phrase in the Search for box and press ENTER.
Search Results
All documents
that match your search term(s) are listed in the search results. The most relevant document appears
first, then the next one, and so on. Relevancy is based on the number of
search term occurrences in a given document, categorized as "Hits" in
the search results list.
- Document: Shows
the name of the document that contains your search terms. This is also a
link that you can click to open the file if you want to read the document. The longer documents are available in two formats (HTML and PDF
).
Use HTML for quick online viewing of brief content (component reference
help, for example). PDF is an excellent choice if you want a printed manual.
It provides page numbering and a well-organized table of contents in the
beginning for streamlining what you're looking for in large documents (component
collection guides, for example). You can also view PDF online, although
HTML is much faster to open and search.
- Size: Indicates the document size.
- Category: Documents are organized by categories. You
can filter by category by making a selection from the drop-down list. Categories
include:
Client Users: Any document pertaining to Pipeline Pilot Client
information (Users tab only).
PilotScript: Any document pertaining to PilotScript
(Users tab only).
Collection Guides: Any document for an installed component
collection (Users tab only).
Administrators: Any document searched from the Administrators
tab.
Developers: Any document searched from the Developers
tab.
- Hits: Number
of occurrences of your search term(s) in the document. Relevance is based
on hits.

Tips and Advanced Search.
