ASSIST/TS Provides 3270 Help Screens

Great news for CICS users: ASSIST/TS 7.3.0 is compatible with CICS TS V4.2!

ASSIST/TS allows you to provide screen or field level help screens to 3270 applications without coding or code changes. Easy to configure and use, it enables the replacement of outdated and inflexible help systems.

 
The easy-to-use ASSIST/TS menu-driven interface will guide even the most non-technical end-user through creation and maintainance of help systems. New ASSIST/TS users are more productive because they are no longer struggling to learn a new application. Experienced users become even more productive because changeable and often obscure information is now instantly available.
 
The new ASSIST Web Help feature allows your end-users to display ASSIST/TS library members from a browser, rather than a green screen. ASSIST Web Help receives a help request (Window, Panel, Manual, Query or System) via HTTP from any application. It then retrieves the help/reference information from ASSIST/TS and presents the HTML help/reference information in a separate browser window.

ASSIST/TS features:

  • Extend help screens and online manuals out to a browser
  • Utilize existing help with new web applications
  • Attach help windows to applications without changing application source code
  • Develop electronic/paperless documentation systems 
  • Present DB2 data to the 3270 terminal via SQL SELECT statements

ASSIST/TS components:

  • ASSIST Web Help - Display your ASSIST/TS help documentation as HTML pages instead of green screens. The help displays will pop up in a new browser window.
  • DOCM/TS - The quickest way to provide softcopy manuals to your end-users.
  • MENU/TS - Create menus of help screens to list available online manuals or reference panels.
  • TUTOR/TS - The key to empowering end-users is making the information they need more accessible. An online referencing system must have the power to know what the user is doing and anticipate user needs. TUTOR/TS has all of the features and functions necessary to design such a system.
  • AssistVision - Create all of your reference windows and/or manuals (like standards and procedures manuals) on a PC using Microsoft Word formats.
