An online help system which includes a "Help" button and a "What's this" button available under the "Getting around" tab of the “Advanced toolbox”.

The move to Geocortex Silverlight 1.5 means that users might come across an initializing error. The error reads as follows “Error initializing viewer: an error occurred during initialization and the site could not be opened. This may be due to network connectivity or an issue with the sites configuration.” Users who come across this error must delete their cache. Detailed instructions on deleting your cache can be found here.
