CT2 Help
From UG
Contents |
General Info
Requirements
Core need: CT2 needs a "help system". For example if user is interaction with "Create Sales Invoice" screen he should be able to "pull User Guide article" that briefly covers related important info.
- R1) It must be easily managed
- R2) Ability to update text without re-release
- R3) Ability to include graphics
Solution
Simple solution is suggested:
- on some screens have "Help" button. If user clicks on it then system creates pop-up that displays relevant info
Tech Note ---------- I suggest populate pop-up with html page that is hosted under say "/help" dir on Tomcat. (Same server that CT2 is on)
- let's start by introducing this system to just one part of the system, say "Acc Reports"
Q and A
Where to put Help button
- option 1: always put it on top left or right corner below main menu
- option 2: add it to top bar (but in this case system should detect what screen user is looking at)
- option 3: add it in various places depending what page
