Initializing help system before first use

Configuring App-Specific Help

You can configure the app’s companion file so that when the user clicks the Help link in the web client they are directed to help relating to the app rather than Xpress Insight.

This only applies when the user is on the app page.

To enable app specific help, you need to add a line to the app’s companion file.

External URL example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<model-companion 
 xmlns=”http://www.fico.com/xpress/optimization-modeler/model-companion” version="3.0"> 
 <help-url>https://my.external.help.url</help-url>
...
Note: A link is treated as absolute if it contains a scheme (such as https://). Otherwise it is treated as relative to client_resources.
Relative URL example:
<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<model-companion 
 xmlns=”http://www.fico.com/xpress/optimization-modeler/model-companion” version="3.0"> 
 <help-url>path/relative/to/client_resources</help-url>
...
