Certinia Help

Upgrade Steps

To view the Certinia Help from your org, you require Apex class access to be enabled for the fferpcore.ContextSensitiveHelpController class. By default, access to this class has been added to all Accounting, and Foundations permission sets. If you use custom permission sets, you must add access to this class to the relevant permission sets. For more information about customizing permission sets, see the Salesforce Help.

The Certinia Help is available via the default utility bar associated with Accounting, and Foundations apps. If you use the default utility bar, no upgrade steps are required and the Certinia Help will be available from the utility bar automatically.

If you use a custom utility bar, complete the steps in Setting up the Certinia Help.
