In the dark

Training for such applications can easily be done by an explanatory on-line document; in general, they are very intuitive, even for an IT dinosaur. :wink:

However, there has to be a logical file structure set in place to support the applications - therein lies the current weakness…

Unless the ā€˜training’ is built in to the application a ā€˜follow me style’, you need to print documents to follow the instructions.
Either way round it’s still ā€˜nice’ to have someone to follow or ask questions of when doing training and given different learning styles it is for many preferable, to trying to do it themselves… I’ve spent many an hour over the years sitting at a colleagues’ desk ā€˜training’ them to do things on software after I’ve been on a course, or just when they ask for advice.

Not really - for both the applications I mentioned, it was an e-learning process (I think one was a simple Powerpoint presentation - with a complete ā€œflowā€ of start-up, use, functions, etc) & it was very simple to go through the presentation once, then start using the application (or revert back to the e-learning on another browser tab if needed).

Comply365 has a ā€œmobileā€ facility (for tablets, etc) that makes it automatic to have all documents synch’d when you log in (changes are then highlighted as documents to go to); the file structure is very easy to use & you can augment it by making documents ā€œfavouritesā€ & annotate text, etc.
