Visualizing configurations with explanation images
Some users find navigating configuration settings overwhelming, especially without visual references to guide them. It can be difficult to immediately identify which elements are being adjusted, and terminology differences across regions add another layer of complexity. This can slow down workflows and require extra time to interpret settings accurately.
To address these challenges, we are integrating Explanation Images directly into each configuration window. These images provide an immediate visual reference, helping users instantly recognize what they are modifying. Some images will dynamically adjust based on selections, while others will remain static but informative. This means users can work more independently, with a clearer understanding of settings from the very first glance.

What This Means for our users:
– Grasp settings faster and minimize trial and error.
– Move through configuration windows effortlessly.
– Easily understand settings without external guidance.
– Adjust settings smoothly and with confidence.
