The help system is an integrated part of the user interface and fully searchable. It consists of two parts:

  • "Help Viewer". Here you can browse and search through all of RealFlow’s functions.
  • “F1 Help”. By selecting a parameter under → "Node Params" and pressing F1, you will get a help text.

 

The "Help Viewer’s" menu tree includes information about all available nodes. You can

  • expand and collapse branches of this tree by clicking on a topic
  • stack documents with tabs – to add a new tab, right-click on a keyword and choose “Open Link on New Tab...”
  • find a complete alphabetical list of RealFlow’s parameters under “Index"
  • search the entire help.

Search Tab

When you start a search from this tab, RealFlow will browse through all available pages and display the results in the form of a link list. Click on a page's title to jump to the associated page.

RealFlow’s help search is a dynamic search function with many options for finding words, expressions similar to your query, and even Boolean functions, e.g. with or without a certain words. These functions are located under “Advanced search”. All found resources will be displayed in the “Results” area, which is equipped with additional navigation elements.

The main search field (“Search for:”) cannot be accessed when the “Advanced search” option is active.

Search Field

At the bottom of the “Help Viewer” you can see an empty field and some buttons. In contrast to the “Search” tab, this function will only search inside the currently displayed help document.

Find Next | Find Previous

Detect all occurrences of the keyword inside the displayed help document

Case Sensitive

Consider upper and lower cases with your search.

Highlight All

This option marks all occurrences of the found keyword.
