## Using the Dynamic Roadmap

Starting with PC-DMIS 3.5, some versions of the PC-DMIS Help File dynamically show the menu selections your should take to access a dialog box, menu item, or Edit window command discussed in a particular help topic.

- In the PC-DMIS 3.5, the dynamic roadmap automatically appeared at the top of specific topics:

- In the PC-DMIS 3.6 and later, the dynamic roadmap appears in a separate pop-up window when you click a small yellow icon found within specific topics:

V3.5 Dynamic Roadmap Example | V3.6 and later Dynamic Roadmap Example

Roadmaps are probably most useful if you work with a customized menu layout. Since the menu pathway text found directly in the topic is static, in an environment that uses customized menu layouts, you likely wouldn't be able to use the static text to get at the desired functionality. But, by using roadmaps, you can click on the roadmap icon and the help file will query PC-DMIS and then return the menu pathway for that functionality dynamically within a pop-up window.

Important: In order for the roadmap to return the menu pathway, you must have Internet Explorer browser installed on your computer, and an instance of PC-DMIS must be running.
