Documentation
Definition
Area in the SAP Knowledge Warehouse in which the contents of a certain application are maintained (for example documentation, training, etc.)
Supplementary Documentation - IW_AREA 0001
Use
Setting variants for displaying contents in the online help of the SAP system are specific to the particular area.
The contents of the "documentation" area are deivered to customers in different formats or help types. You can therefore provide these contents in different ways in the online help by maintaining multiple setting variants for the "documentation" area (IWBHELP).
Dependencies
Access in the online help to contents of other areas of the SAP Knowledge Warehouse (such as SAP training) is possible with help type DynamicHelp and assumes that a Knowledge Warehouse system is installed. If this is the case, you can also maintain different setting variants for these areas.
