Help

This allows you to access support resources, and clear your local storage, during any step of the shipping process. Note that the tray can be opened using the keyboard shortcut F1.

Support Options

The Support Options button provides context sensitive help based on the current App in use. Where [App Name] is referenced, this will be the name of the App. It contains the following elements:

  • [App Name] Help - provides a link to relevant documentation.
  • Ask a Question - loads an email prepopulated with the subject line: [App Name] Question.
  • Submit a Feature Request - loads an email prepopulated with the the subject line: [App Name] Feature Request.
  • Submit a Support Case - loads an email prepopulated with the subject line: [App Name] Support Case Request.

Local storage

The Clear Local Storage option clears any cached data that was retrieved using the PierbridgeListRequest. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Alt + F5. This data is cached for an hour. Any changes are made to this data, E.g. enabling a carrier, do not display in the App until an hour has passed, or until the local storage is cleared.
