What is In-App Guidance?

In-App Guidance is a set of intuitive tools to help you navigate and learn about the software’s features and workflows. This personal guide is built into your account and appears as a Resource Center and Training Hub. Whether you need to schedule media, add a user, or even adjust account settings, In-App Guidance provides you with the necessary information to complete these tasks quickly and easily; without ever leaving the software to search for help!

What To Expect

When you log into Venus Control Suite for the first time, In-App Guidance will begin! As you navigate between each app or feature a flow will be triggered on your first encounter. Learn from each step to complete the task. Once you have finished all flows under the “First Steps” section, you will have the basics of Venus Control Suite down! If you want to learn more advanced items or possibly forgotten what flows you’ve done in the past, refer to your Training Hub. If you have any specific questions, go to the Resource Center where you’ll be able to type questions or keywords to find articles and an AI generated* response on those topics. Even if you don’t have a specific question, the Resource Center will be equipped with Knowledge Base Articles, Trainer Tips, and Videos that adapt to the page or app you have opened in Venus Control Suite.  When in doubt or eager to learn more, look for the orange question mark!

UI Tips:  

  • The Resource Center can be moved anywhere against the edge of the software’s window by dragging the 6 dots next to the question mark icon
  • The Training Hub can be moved to either bottom corner by clicking on the arrow that appears once hovering over the list icon
  • For quick, accurate AI responses*: Phrase the query as a meaningful sentence or a question in the Resource Center 
  • The Resource Center will filter all categories of resources to the page you are currently on. If you’re not sure what to look for use the drop downs under each category to find related videos, tips, and articles
