To enable this feature, follow the remaining steps described below.
Back on the main Help Topics page, click the Edit button beside the topic that you want to work with.
Click the Relate Help Topics to Models tab.

Click the Update Help Topic button to save the details.

Can I disable help topics on my website?

Yes, you can do this by checking the ‘Help’ box at the top of the ‘Help Topics’ screen in IRP Admin. This disables the main Help Application Setting. When set to false (the box is unchecked), the user's browser will redirect to your home page if they attempt to access the front-end Help page. When set to true (the box is checked), Site Help will be available on the front-end of the website. Note that you can still add website Help even if the Help box is not checked is not checked.
