Context-sensitive help typically displays help based on the SAP transaction code. Within a given transaction, there may be several unique tasks that the user may select. Usually, these choices are displayed in an intermediate or page.
However, some transactions may provide dozens of possible help documents from which to select. In these situations, it may be more desirable to provide specific help to the user based on the screen the user is displaying. To provide this screen-level help, the following basic steps are required:
- Create a screen information server.
- Capture screen information and designate the uPerform server.

A screen information server allows an administrator to display screen information that could be used to enable screen-level context-sensitive help. Screen information servers are not appropriate for selection as an end-user help server. |
- Start the transaction using transaction code /n/RWD/ZF0.
- Click Server Setup.
