Adding Contextual Help to Your Web Application
We just launched an update to ScreenSteps Live that allows you to easily add contextual help to your web application using ScreenSteps and ScreenSteps Live. What do we mean by that? Well, now you can get a little javascript from ScreenSteps Live that points to lessons with a specific tag in your online manual. So, for example if you had a screen on in your web app called “Administration”, you could tag all of the lessons that applied to that screen with “Administration Screen”. Then copy the javascript from ScreenSteps Live, insert it into your Administration screen on your web app and you have instant contextual help. What is cool is that if you ever post a new lesson with the “Administration Screen” tag it will automatically show up in the contextual help.
Check out the video below to see how this works.
