Use the Help Center self-service content
The nShift Help Center contains hundreds of articles, guides, and FAQs to help answer your questions. This section will explain the basics.
Browsing and searching for content
Start by choosing your product to find the most relevant content.
When you click on a product, you will be sent to the product-specific category. All the content here will be related to the selected product. Use the search field to search for content within the category.
The example below shows the TMS category page. Any searches made here will only return results about TMS.
If you search from the main page, you will search the entire Help Center across all categories. The category is listed together with each search suggestion.
Press the Enter button to see all the search results. It is important to notice what product the results are about to see if an article is relevant for you.
When you are viewing an article, you can always look at the breadcrumbs or the left-side menu to see what product it is about. The example below is about Webshipper.
