Remarks

Each site maintains a list of active Help collections and this determines the Help content available to site visitors. Activating a Help collection adds it to this list. Each Help collection stored in the Help library is required to have a value in its Product field which describes the scope of content in that collection. For example, the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Help collection for end users has a value of WSSEndUser for its Product field. The helpCollectionProduct parameter should give the value of the Product field of the Help collection to be activated.
