Content Sensitive Help

Hi,

Is there any plugin  or any other way for Content Sensitive Help that can be implemented in Appian

Thank you

  • I'm still unclear why you'd need a plugin for that.  In Appian you could make a "help" hyperlink trivially easily, which could do any of a number of things including expanding a previously-hidden section containing various pieces of help info, or alternatively, hyperlinking to an external webpage with advanced help info, using a!safeLink() to open that link in a new browser tab.

    To make it "context sensitive" you have 2 options.

    You can either make one link, or helpTooltip, or whatever component you choose, and contextually have it direct the user to different help depending upon some condition in an if() statement.

    OR

    You could simply create multiple links, only showing the relevant one to the user's particular case by using the showWhen parameter of each one.

    I agree no plugin is necessary, and to a point I can hardly see how one would be of much benefit beyond what comes out of the box even if it did exist.
