Introduction

Dynamics AX has a help engine that is installed along with the base installation that is used for searching and displaying all of the standard help files, and the help files are also indexed and searchable through the Enterprise Search feature. If you want to, you can have full access to all the default help source files, and you can easily add your own twists to the standard documentation.

This becomes even more useful to you because it not only provides a way for you to edit the default help to add your own nuances to the documentation, but it also allows you to create your very own help topics that the users are able to search for alongside the standard help.

In this chapter, we will show you how you can create your own help documents for reference information, and also how to use the Task Recorder that is built into Dynamics AX to document and publish business procedures for the users to reference directly from the Dynamics AX help service.
