Tools User Interface Center
A Tools User Interface Center provides the structural framework in which tools are presented to the user. A Tools User Interface Center consists of a menu frame and a content frame. The WebSphere Commerce Accelerator is an instance of the Tools User Interface Center. The Organization Administration Console is another example of the Tools User Interface Center.
In the user interface customization topics, Tools User Interface Center refers to the Tools User Interface Center instance that you are customizing. For example, Tools User Interface Center refers to WebSphere Commerce Accelerator if that is the tool that you are customizing.
Context-sensitive help
No matter how intuitive you might think that your custom interface is, it is still possible that your users will have questions, about either usage or input. When a user clicks Help, the current page in the content frame is polled to obtain the help key for the page. This key is then included as an argument in a call to the getHelp() function, which launches a separate browser containing the HTML file associated with the specified key. To provide context-sensitive help for your custom interface elements, provide a HTML help file, specify a key in your custom JSP file, and update the help mapping file for a Tools User Interface Center.
