App Help/Instructions UI

The forums are not letting me see the image? When I right click > view image it tells me I don't have permission to view the image.

I like the idea if I understand it but I think the image would  help me understand.

I think this is a really good idea Liam.

In our conventions doc that I've shared with the developers who are creating apps so far it says to have an Instructions Tab. I like what you're showing here better and can update the doc with something like this as a preferred method but I don't think we necessarily should enforce this as a standard. As long as an app provides the "Help" information and a method available to remove the app if desired I don't think we should get too wrapped around how you do so.

Attention to detail like this is what gives developers the opportunity to stand out amungst their competition. Sometime in the near future we'll start seeing multiple apps that solve the same or similar problems. It's the nature of a marketplace. So I don't think there's a need to say everyone has to do it this way even though I think this is a very good way. Just like you brought up a case (stepping through the process), another developer may have a reason this isn't best for their app.

I'm definately interested in other developer's opinions on app UI standards in general and what should/shouldn't be requirements. On thing that's definately a requirement is that apps need to look like they are at home in the BC admin UI to be sold in the app store.

Can't see image either.

Yes, I like that better than instructions in a tab.

I also like that. =>
