You will now find the Help Button at the bottom right of your screen in the system tray. You may need to click the ^ Arrow if you cannot see it. Let’s make sure that you can always see the Help Button.
Pin the Help Button to the Tray
To ensure ease of access to the Help Button we need to make sure the system tray icon is set to be always visible. Right click an empty area of your taskbar and then click the Taskbar Settings button.
Windows 11
On the Taskbar Settings page, there are the headings ‘Taskbar items’, ‘System tray icons’, ‘Other system tray icons‘, and ‘Taskbar Behaviours’. Please click Other system tray icons and then find the oka-help-button tray icon and make sure it is set to On.
Windows 10
On the Taskbar Settings page, scroll down to Notification area and choose “Select which icons appear on the taskbar.
Scroll down to Ok Alone and check the toggle is set to On.
How to Log In
Please right-click the grayed out Help Button icon to open the menu and select Login.
This will open the Login Window where you can enter your Worker PIN to Get Started.
Once you have logged in, you will see that the Help Button icon has now turned green.
Make a Help Request
There are 3 options to make a Help Request.
- Double-Click the Green Icon
- Right-click the menu and click ‘Get Help’
- Press Ctrl + H on your keyboard
After clicking the Green Icon, or selecting ‘Get Help’ from the menu, or pushing Ctrl + H, the Help Button will now turn Orange.
The icon will remain Orange for 5 Seconds, in case the Help Request was sent accidentally and needs to be cancelled. Simply double-click the now-orange icon or select Cancel Help from the menu.
Once the Help Request is sent the icon will now turn Red.
The Help Request can always be cancelled after it is sent, in case Help is no longer needed.
On the Dashboard, a Monitor will be able to see your alert and can acknowledge it and take responsibility for directing help towards you.
Once the Help Request is acknowledged, you will receive an alert letting you know.
As well, if you miss this alert the Help Button icon will change to a Red Circle with a Green Checkmark to let you know your Help Request has been acknowledged.
