SAP Enable Now Web Assistant is a web-based help system to provide you with context-sensitive user assistance. It
enables you to get started quickly and to find all relevant information easily without needing to leave the respective
application. Web Assistant provides additional information directly on top of the current application screen.
This guide provides you, the end user, with information on how to use SAP Enable Now Web Assistant.
Web Assistant can be started by selecting the Help control. Afterwards, the Web Assistant UI with the available
content for an app is displayed. You can select a tile in the carousel to display the content.
Note
The available content depends on the app you use and the configuration of Web Assistant.
After starting Web Assistant, the user interface with the help content is displayed. Web Assistant has the following
interface elements:
The context help shows you information for particular areas on your current application screen. It enables you to
get orientated quickly in new, rarely-used, or complex application interfaces. Furthermore, it explains changes in
the application or emphasizes information that is important for you.
Each help shows a tile with a title and a short description in the carousel. A bubble shows detailed information and a
hotspot or icon highlights a specific control on the app screen.
• Close
A bubble is closed when selecting another help. You also can select Close in the bubble header bar to close the
bubble.
• Tiles without an object
Some bubbles are not displayed at an object and do not have a hotspot or an icon. The bubble is centered in
the middle of the screen. Such bubbles often show general information about an app.
The carousel only shows a few tiles. The buttons Show Next Help Topics and Show Previous Help Topics allow you to
navigate in the carousel to more tiles.
Searching content
The search allows you to find a specific help. This is useful if the app shows many help elements.
The guided tour guides the user step-by-step through an application process. It shows the instruction directly next
to the current element and awaits the user's action. At the end of a guided tour, the user will not only have learned
about how to go through a process but will have performed the process already. This is especially helpful for new,
updated, complex, or rarely-used processes.
3. Select Start.
1. A bubble is displayed that is positioned on the current required control or in the middle of the screen and an
information text is displayed.
2. Execute the step of the guided tour just explained.
The next step is displayed automatically or you have to navigate to the next step.
An icon in the header bar shows you the current step and the progress of the tour.
• At the end of a guided tour, select Finish to close a guided tour and to show the carousel again.
• During a guided tour, select the Close button in the header bar of the bubble.
With the What's New mode, you can show information for new features of your app or changes in your processes.
What's New content can be help and guided tours.
After the first start of an app, a note about changes is displayed at the top of your app. Select the note to start the
What's New mode of the Web Assistant and to show the What's New content in the carousel.
The What's New content has a different color to the standard content.
When closing the What's New mode, a What's New button is displayed in the carousel. The button allows you to
start the What's New mode at any time and to show the What's New content again.
