Business Central online - Configure Context-Sensitive Help - modify "2000000198 Page Documentation"

Posted on by 5

Dear Team,

Our main goal is to have a custom help website that will assist Business Central users to understand each field business behavior.

This feature is already there in BC, when the end user hover-over any Out-Of-the-Box field (learn more hyper-link), Microsoft business central website is opened in another tab for a specific page.

Based on Microsoft documentation in the following link “docs.microsoft.com/.../help-and-support”, we were able to do the following:

  1. Fork Business Central Microsoft documentation
  2. Download the repository from GitHub
  3. Change the .md file extensions to .html
  4. Create a custom web app (that will be the BC custom help website)
  5. Upload .html files to the site.

At the level of Business Central extensions, we have used this link to map BC custom field to the custom website, it work properly.  However, Out-Of-the-Box field still map to MS BC documentation.

As per this link: “docs.microsoft.com/.../context-sensitive-help” we need to modify the link in table “2000000198 Page Documentation”, unfortunately, we were not able to view or modify (using extension or job) the table records; the error we get is “The table Page Documentation cannot be read because it contains system data.”

Please advise on the following:

  1. How to modify the table 2000000198 record value for the help website URL.
  2. If there is any other way to change OOB fields help URL to the custom website.
