Hi. I have an established app which users donโt have a problem with using so overall the interface and my use of ShowIf to hid certain fields based on other field values works well.
However, our operation does have some complex processes which are not so easy for new volunteers to grasp. So Iโd like to be able to create some short help files where I can keep some help text that would only appear if a certain set of values appear in other fields.
So, for example, one of our coordinators selects a particular job type. Iโd then like to show a link to the help text that they can click on and that would pop open a box over the top with the help information in it. I know that you can link out to PDFs but thatโs not always convenient if the user is on a small phone screen. So some simple bullet points in a pop-up that can be accessed if needed would be a better option.
Is this possible? Anyone done anything similar? Iโm OK with developing the expressions that would decide if help was available and how to manage the help information within data. Itโs the UX side of things that Iโm seeking help with.
Many thanks
Put the help content in a column of type Show and hide the column using Show? (Show_If) until needed.
Thanks for the response Steve. Yes, thatโs an option but I should have said in my original post that I donโt want the information to show unless the user requests it. We have many coordinators who are very experienced and wouldnโt need to be seeing the help information every time they create a job. And out on the road the app is being used by our motorcycle riders where the forms they use to record collections and deliveries have to be as quick and simple to use as possible with as little scrolling up and down as possible.
Itโs really to make sure that when an inexperienced coordinator answers the phone and gets asked to arrange a particular kind of job, they can quickly access a step by step guide of what they need to do.
I guess I could have another field thatโs maybe a tick box or similar, then show that if help is available and then if that gets ticked the Show column could be revealed. Feels a but messy though with multiple logic tests on multiple fields.
Yep.
