Help with new features: Informing users about new developments
Applications are constantly evolving. End users often take advantage of these improvements. However, in order to benefit from the changes between two versions, the end user needs to know what was modified. The user must be kept informed of the improvements and new operating modes in order to use them properly. When creating an application setup with automatic updates, WINDEV automatically presents a list with the changes that have been made. This information is automatically deduced from the environment: - The list of completed tasks is retrieved from the Project Management Hub
- The list of fixed bugs and new features is retrieved from the Quality and Version Monitoring Center,
- The list of elements that have been modified is retrieved from the SCM, etc.
When developing or creating the setup program, the developer selects and possibly rewrites the elements found in this list, and he also adds all the necessary elements. Creating the documentation about the new features To implement the documentation about the new features: - Create the client version of your application: in the "Project" pane, in the "Generation" group, pull down "Setup procedure" and select "Create installation procedure".
- Click "Additional information" in the executable creation wizard. The "New features documentation" step is appears.
- You can:
- create a new help system.
- select an existing help system to complete it.
Remark: - use an updated help system.
- If you create or update a help system, you can:
- indicate whether the page of new features corresponds to a daily page or to a page for all the new features.
- select the origin of the information inserted into the page of new features:
If a new page is generated, it is possible to define the elements generated automatically in the page: title, executable number, corrected incidents, completed tasks, archiving carried out, etc.
- The setup procedure is momentarily stopped. The executable is generated and the help page is created (if necessary) in your project.
- You can modify the help page to suit your needs.
- Once your have made all the desired changes, you can:
- Resume the setup procedure.
- Cancel the setup procedure.
- The help for the new features will be displayed when installing the application with automatic update.
