In my user guides, I arrange the headers and footers like this:
Upper Inside Corner: Book name ("User Guide")
Upper Center: Project/product name ("ABC System")
(Sometimes I combine these two and put it in the Upper Inside)
Upper Outside Corner: Chapter name ("Entering XYZ Data")
Lower Outside Corner: page number
Lower Inside Corner: company confidentiality statement (required, not
my choice)
I find my readers really like having the chapter name in the header.
