Preface

Information Sources
You can choose from many sources of information, including online
documentation, training, and support services, to increase your
knowledge and understanding of Oracle Applications.
If this guide refers you to other Oracle Applications documentation,
use only the Release 11i versions of those guides unless we specify
otherwise.

Online Documentation
All Oracle Applications documentation is available online (HTML and
PDF). The technical reference guides are available in paper format
only. Note that the HTML documentation is translated into over
twenty languages.
The HTML version of this guide is optimized for onscreen reading, and
you can use it to follow hypertext links for easy access to other HTML
guides in the library. When you have an HTML window open, you can
use the features on the left side of the window to navigate freely
throughout all Oracle Applications documentation.
• You can use the Search feature to search by words or phrases.
• You can use the expandable menu to search for topics in the
menu structure we provide. The Library option on the menu
expands to show all Oracle Applications HTML documentation.
You can view HTML help in the following ways:
• From an application window, use the help icon or the help menu
to open a new Web browser and display help about that window.
• Use the documentation CD.
• Use a URL provided by your system administrator.
