Cheat sheets for new users with standardized terminology

MJ. Smith

One thing that makes Logos/Verbum intimidating to new users is that the same things is referred to differently in the forums, in the documentation, and by the various sources providing training. This makes it difficult for a new user to find the information they need in help. I would like to suggest that Logos take some basic screen shots of the main screen options a user sees, that these screen shots be labeled with an official Logos terminology for every component/action available on that screen, and that hovering on that label tells you what the action does and when relevant, the sequence in which the options appear. I say component/action because the right click menu is fundamental to the use of Logos and the other keyboard options/actions are often forgotten. The images should go for completeness although I would not oppose a simplified overview view as an addition. I include sequence because knowing whether or not something is controllable via prioritization or saved selection lists is a very frequent issue.

If Logos refuses to do this, as an alternative they could assign a person to verify/edit user generated wiki pages to provide the information - a far inferior solution in terms of visibility to new users.

This is a fantastic suggestion! Standardizing terminology across all platforms and including labeled screenshots would significantly enhance user experience , especially for newcomers. It would make learning and navigating Logos much more intuitive. Clear , comprehensive , and consistent guidance is crucial for effective software use. Great idea!
