1 Introduction
The Huawei Electronic Documentation Explorer (HEDEX) is used to browse and search
electronic documents.
The HEDEX can be used for the Huawei electronic documents of different products and different
versions. It can be installed on a server and shared by multiple users and can also be installed
on a PC for one user.
The HEDEX can be used to manage electronic documents and possesses the following functions:
Browsing
Document browse is the basic and important function of the HEDEX. The documents in the
HEDEX are saved as libraries with the extension .hdx. The libraries can be browsed only with
the HEDEX.
Searching
The HEDEX provides the following ways to retrieve information: basic search, advanced search
and search in results. You can search information in one library or multiple library. The search
results can be classified into two groups, Operational Process and Document Type, which
help you find information quickly and correctly.
Adding Favorites
When browsing a document with the HEDEX, you can create a favorite for the page that you
are interested in or often visit for fast browsing in future.
Adding Remarks
When browsing a document with the HEDEX, you can add remarks on documents about your
ideas, doubts, and experience.
System Management
Only the HEDEX administrator has the system management right. System management refers
to library management, such as uploading and deleting libraries, and controlling library display.
If the HEDEX is installed in server mode, the HEDEX administrator can also perform user
management, such as deleting a user, initializing a password, and viewing the number of online
users.
2 Installation
This topic describes the procedures of installing, upgrading and uninstalling the HEDEX in
Windows.
Local Mode
You can install the HEDEX on a local computer and then use the HEDEX directly. In this mode,
other users cannot access the HEDEX on your computer.
