Online Help Solutions Buttons
Solutions is our online database that lists most options for Big Business.
When you see a list (pictured) there are several buttons you can use to navigate:
• Thumbnail (white) is a button with a graphic that you can click to show detail
• Title (blue) is a button that you can click to show detail
• Next (green) is a button that you can click to go to the next detail entry
• Chapter (grey) is a button that you can click for a list of entries in the same chapter
At any time you can click Help or other entries in the toolbar to start a new search.
Online Help Reports Help
Help is a new column on the Reports list, making it easier to find help. Just click the number of the help document, like (1234), and it will open the current entry from bigbusiness.com/help in your browser.
Online Help
The bigbusiness.com web site got a new framework for 2022. Function and layout are largely the same. Brash, brisk, and brief are the new guidelines. Some icons have been changed to protect their innocence. The purpose of the web site is to host online help.
The hope is that you click around and find some Solutions, Chapters, or Contents, and find something new that you can adopt, adapt, and iterate on.
The content of Big Business changes frequently, but the program stays the same. Changes are often additions, an option you turn on to do things differently, or not. So it is always perfectly safe to ignore the changes and keep doing what you're doing.
Chapter 99 Online Help
Online Help helps you find out how Big Business does work, or could work, and why.
On many screens an information button [i] takes you to the online help entry, for help. There you should find descriptions, details, picture, and links to Chapter or Next Page.
Online Help Second Picture
Second Picture helps you see important details in online help by adding a new picture.
Online Help Delete All
Delete All is a new step in Online Help where outmoded Chapters are deleted entirely.
Many entries in Online Help are only to document changes which may cause surprise. Now that the new way is the way entries for the old way need to get out of the way.
Chapter 406 was an ragtag collection of changes from various versions and the first to go. It had goodies like larger objects, new comments, and renamed and removed objects past.
Online Help Carousel
Carousel is a new idea you are familiar with, showing slides, adapted for online help.
BigBusiness 16 Opening Project
Opening Project is a new dialog put up by the Database as BigBusiness Server starts.
Startup is much faster, so apparently this helps.
BigBusiness 16 Dialog Icon
Dialog Icons picked up a focus rectangle in some windows without fields to focus on.
Online Help Fix Buttons
Fix Buttons are updated to be a more verdant shade rather than sanguine and alarming.
