What if I Need Help?
Patriot Software is designed to be easy to learn and easy to use. And if you ever need help with the software, we have made getting help easy, too!
HELP ICONS
The help icons are the question marks inside the circles. Hover over the help icon for quick answers, or click the help icon for a longer explanation. When you click a help icon, you will see a new window open with a suggested help article from our Help Center.
VIDEO ICONS
Do you like to learn from a video tutorial? If so, watch for the small TV icon that appears on some pages of your Patriot online software account. You can click on the video icon to see a step-by-step video. For example, the video icon shown above links to a brief training video on how to pay an employee in the software.
ICONS AND HINTS: TURNING THEM OFF
The help icons and video icons will all be turned on when you first log in to your account. If you prefer to hide the icons and hints, simply click the “Hints On/Off” link at the very bottom of any page. This will hide both icons and the hint messages.
