RE: What is embedded help?

Hi Charlotte,

Iâd love to say that we have great meetings where these things are discussed and debated over, but the usual case is that I check our Task Management software (TFS) and  a new task for me to create some embedded help has appeared.

If I vehemently disagreed with what they had decided Iâm sure my opinion would be heard and valued, but that hasnât been the case so far.

Hi Sion,

I find it interesting that the UX guys identify the MOOPOPs, while you come up with the help. How do UX guys and techwriters collaborate in your company?

Thanks,
Charlotte

Hi,

Our product includes embedded help in the shape of question mark buttons next to on-screen elements, when clicked a pop-up displays with a brief explanation of the functionality and a link to more detail in the help system.

Our guidelines recommend the use of embedded help for MOOPPOP - Moments Of OPPortunity Or Pain - for the user. The UX guys identify these.

Hope this helps, MOOPPOP is always a great phrase to drop in meetings.

All the best,
Sion
