Admin settings - Internal Help Resources

To help users get the most out of Looker, admins can configure a list of company-specific resources with links to wikis, Slack channels, data dictionaries, documentation, key contact information, and other assets. Admins can use the Internal Help Resourcespage in the Generalsection of the Adminmenu to configure this list.

This list is accessible to all Looker users through the drop-down Helpmenu. To access the Helpmenu, click the Helpicon live_help in the Looker navigation banner.

To create a list of resources in the Helpmenu, follow these steps:

1. From the Adminpanel, navigate to the Internal Help Resourcespage.
2. Once on the page, enable the Enable Internal Help Resources In The Help Menutoggle.
3. Once the feature is enabled, two fields appear that can be edited:
   • A field in which to enter your organization name. This field can be populated with up to 16 characters. In the user-facing version, the first line will display Resources for Looker atand the name you entered.
   • A field in which to enter your list of resources. The text in this field can be styled using Markdown . You can expand or contract the size of the field by clicking on the lower right corner and dragging the box. Changing the size of this field does not change the size of the dialog box displayed to users.
4. Click Save Changesonce you've completed your edits. A Changes successfully savedbanner will appear.

To edit your resources, follow the preceding steps, with the exception of toggling the Enable Internal Help Resources In The Help Menuswitch.

To disable the feature, toggle the Enable Internal Help Resources In The Help Menuswitch to off. Any edits you saved will remain, but the list of resources will no longer be available to users.
