    The Settings Manager page opens.

  2. Verify [Global Settings] is the value in the Role field.

    You must be in Global Settings mode to edit these settings.

  3. Click these tabs: General > Core > Misc Info.

  4. In the Misc Info 3 section, make changes in the following fields.

    Help URL

    If you want to re-direct users to an alternate help system or document, enter the valid absolute URL address of the page.
