Use cheat sheet steps to perform work or to guide you through work
in the tooling.
Using a cheat sheet
A cheat sheet is a
view that opens in a perspective to guide you through complex tasks.
The Cheat Sheet view: The cheat sheet opens as a view in the active
perspective.
At any time, only one cheat sheet can be open and active. If a cheat
sheet is open and another is launched, the opened cheat sheet is closed before
the new one is opened.
When a cheat sheet is closed, its completion status is automatically
saved. The next time the cheat sheet is opened, the completion status is
displayed.
After launching a cheat sheet, work through the steps in the order
presented. For each step, you can choose actions that perform work
automatically, allow you to perform the work, or allow you to skip optional
steps.
The following table identifies the actions you may encounter when
using the cheat sheets.
