Using the Online Help

FinancialForce applications extend the functionality provided by Salesforce. As a result, some of the content of the Salesforce Help & Training Window is relevant to FinancialForce users as well. If you are an experienced Salesforce user, you will find many similarities between the applications.

The FinancialForce Help extends the Salesforce Help by providing information specific to FinancialForce users.

Note:

FinancialForce makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within the Help window, but assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or inaccuracies that may appear.

You may need to contact your System Administrator for assistance if custom input forms have been enabled in your org. See "Classic Edition, Extended Edition, Custom Input Forms" below for more details.
