Breadcrumb example

Each item listed is separated by the symbol > (the greater than icon).

The first item is the name of the main book in the Table of Contents that the topic is associated with. The second item is the name of the book where the topic resides. The last item is the name of the topic that is displayed in Help.

For example, in the image above, if you click Providers, you would go to a topic called: About Provider Tasks. If you click Enrollment, you would go to a topic called: What Is Provider Enrollment? If you click Provider Enrollment Pages, you would go to the topic called: About Provider Enrollment Pages.

Note: Not all breadcrumbs consist of three items. Breadcrumbs change based upon the topic being displayed in Help.
