You can create entry points in your instance for help generated with the system user
guide by providing the correct address parameters in the target URL.
Help pages generated with the user guide can be displayed to end users from configurable
entry points in the system, including application modules and UI actions. To create these entry points, you must express a target URL using
these parameters:

| $sys_product_help.do |
