Tutorials

Tutorials can be used to explain how to use a page, embedded visualization, or for any other supporting documentation related to content on your Curator site.

They can be shown every time a Dashboard is viewed, a fixed number of times the Dashboard is viewed, or only when clicked on by a user.

To create a tutorial:

  1. Navigate to the backend of the system (e.g. http://curatorexample.com/backend).
  2. Log in if prompted.
  3. Click on Content > Tutorials in the left-hand menu. (or in earlier versions Tableau > Tutorials).
  4. Click the "New Tutorial" button.
  5. Enter the title, description and content of the tutorial in the appropriate fields. The content field allows for fully formatted content, including images, links, etc.
  6. Enter the number of times the tutorial should be shown in the "Maximum Views" field.
    • Entering zero in this field means the tutorial will only be shown if the user clicks to see it.
    • Entering -1 in the field means the tutorial will be shown each time the user views the Dashboard until they click to not show it again.
  7. You can control the size and location of the tutorial on the page by adjusting the pixel value for width, height, top position and left position. Leave blank to use the system default.
    • Top position is the number of pixels below the top of the page (0px is at the very top)
    • Left position is the number of pixels from the left of the page (0px is at the very left)
  8. A highlighted image can be added by selecting an image from "Highlight Image". Once selected you can control the highlighted section by adjusting the pixel value for top position, left position, right position and bottom position.
    • Pixel value determines the size of highlighted area, starting from the top left. For example, if top position is 10px and bottom position is 100px, the highlighted area will start 10px below the top of the image and end 100px below the top.
  9. Multiple slides can be created by clicking "Add New Item"
  10. Click the "Create" button.
