Custom Product Tour
You can create product tours to familiarize your users with the various features and functionalities of the self-service portal. This helps your organization reduce overhead on training users and thereby aids in better utilization of resources in your service departments.
This tour is designed as a collection of steps that you can customize by using text, images, and videos. It is shown to the users on the landing page after logging into the self-service portal. If enabled by the admin, an option to access or re-launch the tour will be available under the Profile Settings user panel as well.
