The Visum help consists of a browser-based online help and a locally installed help for the COM interface.
- The PTV Visum Help online help consists of two parts:
- The headers of the "Fundamentals" part have a blue background.
- The "Using Visum" part corresponds to the user manual. Its headers are highlighted in pink.
- The COM Help file contains a description of the COM interface and of the Python library of Visum, which allows you to create your own Python applications.
You can call the online help from the active program in different ways:
- With the context-sensitive call you will find the appropriate information for the currently active window or for the current view of Visum. Press the F1 key to access the context-sensitive online help.
- Regardless of the window you are currently working in or the current view mode, you can access the online help via Help > PTV Visum Help.
- You can also open it from the Visum start page.
You can also access the COM/Python Help via the Help menu > COM Help.
