On Windows, there are help files in the
HTML Help format available in the Administration
Console that can be used (*.chm) both for the
main window of the Administration Console (the
Help / Contents option in the main menu) and for both
administration modules (the
Help / Administrators Guide option in the main menu).
The installation packages include only English versions of the help files. However, help files in other languages are available at http://www.kerio.com/.
Location of help files is described thoroughly in chapter 2 Installation, File Location and Startup. The format of their names is as follows:
kadmin.<language>.chm — for the main window of the Administration Console
mailadmin<XYY>.<language>.chm — Kerio Connect's administration guide
wradmin<VWW>.<language>.chm — Kerio Control's administration guide
where
the expression <XYY> represents major and minor
number of version of the Kerio Connect administration
module
the expression <VWW> represents major and minor
number of version of the Kerio Control administration
module
the <language> item consists of two characters
which represent an abbreviation of a particular language (e.g.
fr for French, de for German, etc.)
First, the Administration Console (or an administration module) always searches for the help file in the language selected for the GUI (see chapter 3.6 Language preferences and splash screen settings). If the file is not found, the help file in English will be searched. If neither the English version is found, the Help / Contents (in the main window) or the Help / Administrator's Guide (in the administration module's window) option is not available.
Note: The help is currently not available for Linux and Mac OS X. The Administration Console's main menu or the administration module's menu does not include the options. However, the manual in either HTML or PDF can be used for reference — there are no differences between individual format versions of the help/manual.
Example: Suppose you want to add a French help
file and French administrator guide for the Kerio Control
7.1.x (for up-to-date version check the information provided at the
welcome screen immediately after a successful login) into the
Administration Console. Download corresponding guides in
the HTML Help format from
http://www.kerio.com and save them to
the help subdirectory (see above). The following files are
available:
kadmin.cs.chm— a guide for the
Administration Console
wradmin701.cs.chm— administrator's guide for
Kerio Control
If we attempt to add while the Administration Console (or another administration module) is running, the following rules are applied:
The help file for the Administration Console will be available upon the next startup of the Administration Console or when a new language version of the file has been enabled.
Administrator guide for a corresponding application will be available upon the next connection to this application (upon the next startup of a corresponding administration module).
