About SHM

About SHM

The SHM folder contains all of the forms that have been documented through the SEMS HELP MAP process, and exported to the Help system. See SEMS HELP MAP for the technical description of SHM creation.

SHM details every field, block and form used in SEMS. It is an essential link required to provide context-sensitive help at the field level. (If there is no SHM entry, the link does not work).

Describing the content requirement for each field is useful, but is not as valuable in understanding the way to use the form as the About and Example entries.

SHM is designed to be updated as forms are amended through change management. When that happens, the amended form can be exported from the SHM Oracle table using XML and imported to the SEMS Help, completely replacing the definition of the form. This is performed by the SEMS Help Maintenance Manager at Steelman.
