24 Januari - User Guides

This article is from before the rebranding to SelfGuide. Text and images can include the old product name ProductivityPerformer or its abbreviation PP.

The first sprint of this year and directly with a big new feature, User Guides. A User Guide must be seen as collection of AWIs, structured in chapters and accommodated with context information. User Guides can be used for several scenarios where AWIs should be combined, for example from an application or process perspective, and additional information like an explanation, introduction or agreements should be added.

All new functionality is explained below.

User Guide library

The navigation bar on the left side of the application contains a button to openthe User Guide library. The library contains all available User Guides with a title, short description and the amount of containing AWIs. A User Guide can be opened by clicking the title.

Preface

Each UserGuide contains a preface to give editors the option to add general information for the reader about the contents of the User Guide. We added this option for information about the goal of the User Guide, summary of the contents, information about how to read and use, etc.


Chapters

User Guides can be large, see it is a book with a lot of pages structured in chapters. Toadd the same intuitive structure, User Guides contain chapters too and the chapters contain the AWIs. Chapters have a title to make it easier to navigate for a user and a short introduction within the chapter adds the option to introduce to content of the chapter.

Create and edit

Editors have the option to create and edit User Guides. Within a User Guide, they have the option to switch to Edit mode. When in edit mode, all text is placed in input boxes, action bars are available with action like adding AWIs and theorder of the chapters can be changed by a simple drag & drop
