Context Sensitive

By Shelley Elmblad, About.com

Definition: Context sensitive help in financial software is a help screen that reveals help information specifically relevant to the part of the program currently being used.
Examples: When I press the F1 key on computer keyboard while working in a program, the help menu pops up. In some programs, the help menu is contextual and it is populated with information on the part of the program I'm using.
