The help you need, where you need it!
Published
Perhaps you may have noticed but context sensitive help has started appearing within the Education management products. We've got plenty more on the way, but come learn about what this is and how it aims to make your life easier.
The Blackbaud Education Management documentation team worked hard this summer, not only creating new content to improve the back-to-school experience, but to make the content easier to find.
Working with other departments at Blackbaud and our customers, we started adding context-sensitive help that you can access in the application, in the location where you need it. For example, we know schools regularly struggle trying to figure out incomplete student schedules, so we created a troubleshooting document based on the exact steps used by support analysts. We then added help icons in the application in locations where we know users will discover the scheduling issue: the Student schedule tile on the Overview tab in Request and Schedules in Academics.
The same troubleshooting help is available from the Generate student schedule results page also in Requests and Schedules in Academics.
We have plans in place to add similar help options throughout the application, and we will make sure to keep you updated as we implement the additional resources. Also, we’d love to hear from you. Where do you usually struggle in the application? What questions do you need addressed? We want to hear from you, so please post your thoughts below in the comments. We'll see you next week!
