Aptify Web 6.3 4 provides a new Context help support feature wherein the existing help button on Web will be redirected to a specific page on the KB site depending on which Aptify Web screen you are on. This is done by creating an entity that will match the pattern of the Aptify Web URL and map it to a KB page. A client can specify links to their own documentation to override the kb pages. Also, by default, Aptify provides a set of help links to KB site that can be used as is , or reconfigured.
