Getting Help

This guide provides an overview of the Ridgeline software features with the goal of showing how you
can use Ridgeline to simplify your network management tasks and help you solve problems with your
network or its devices. It does not provide a detailed explanation of how to use the features of the
software.
For detailed help on specific features, Ridgeline provides context-sensitive online Help, accessible
through the Help menu located in the Ridgeline menu bar. From the Help menu, you can view HTML-
based help on the feature you are using, presented in a browser window.
In the Reports feature, there is a Help link in the introductory paragraph on the Main reports page.
From the Help menu, the Ridgeline Help selection displays the table of contents for the complete Help
system.
Ridgeline also provides the Ridgeline Reference Guide, which also describes how to use the Ridgeline
features. This guide can be accessed from the subdirectory under the Ridgeline installation
doc
