How to use ESET Endpoint Security Help pages
Help topics are divided into several chapters and subchapters to provide orientation and context. You can find related information by browsing the help pages structure.
Press F1 to learn more about any window in the program. The help page related to the window you are currently viewing will be displayed.
You can search the Help pages by keyword or by typing words or phrases. The difference between these two methods is that a keyword may be logically related to help pages that do not contain that particular keyword in the text. Searching by words and phrases will search the content of all pages and display only those containing the searched word or phrase.
For consistency and to help prevent confusion, terminology used in this guide is based on the ESET Endpoint Security parameter names. We also use a uniform set of symbols to highlight topics of particular interest or significance.
