ASSIST/TS

ASSIST/TS is a document distribution system that can deliver multiple types of  data to a 3270 mainframe application, not just text based windows, supporting your screen-level or field-level help systems. The easy-to-use ASSIST/TS menu-driven interface will guide even the most non-technical end-user through the process of creating and maintaining help systems.  With ASSIST/TS, users are productive faster 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, whether the Web-based application uses the IBM 3270 Bridge or a custom-built application (ASP, JSP, Visual Basic, etc.). 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.

Features of ASSIST/TS:

• 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 with security features.
• Present DB2 data to the 3270 terminal via SQL SELECT statement
• Ability to transfer information between applications.
• Ability to build and maintain Electronic Referencing System at PC level and upload to the mainframe.

Components of ASSIST/TS include:

• 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 MS Word formats
