More info

To setup introductions feature you will first need to define introduction scenario.

Introduction scenario currently can be triggered on load of the Application, Dialog or Form. In case you are triggering scenario from Application or Dialog you should leave talxis_formid(Form) attribute empty. When done with scenario setup, you should start adding steps for described scenario.

Adding steps is pretty self explanitory you should just keep in mind talxis_order(Order) attribute so you order steps right. Regarding talxis_elementselector(Element Selector) if left empty, step will be shown on page center, and if defined it will highlight targeted HTML element.

For both scenarios and steps we are using resource files so we can cover mutiple languages. But if you are not fimiliar with that you can type in what ever you want 😃

Triggering

To trigger introduction scenarion you will need to include custom script in onLoad event of the Form, Application or Dialog.
