An application help tab gives application users a tab they can click on to get information instructions, or answers to frequently asked pages.
To create an application Help tab:
- Go to
> Developer Resources > Pages and create a JSP page.
- Be sure to turn off headers on the page you create.
- With headers on, jQuery and other platform features become available--but links fail.
- When off, you have a normal HTML page--and links work.
- Be sure to turn off headers on the page you create.
- > Developer Resources > Web Tabs and create a new tab from that page.
- If the tab is not visible (may be true for other users), go to > Preferences
Sample Help Page
This page is derived from the Brainstorm] application--an application built on the AgileApps Cloud platform that allows customers to file requests for features they would like to see.
The resulting page looks like this:
Here is the code:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="java" enclose="div">

<style>

//text-align: center;
line-height: 2;
