Guide Designer is a system for creating guides--guides are a set of screens and these screens are called steps--that lead users through a series of actions for performing a task. These guides run within browsers and these browsers can run on computing platforms such as a PC or a Mac. Each step contains an action. It could contain information that your user needs, a form that needs to be filled out, and so on. Behind the scenes, steps interact with an application by extracting, storing, and manipulating data.
The parts of Central related to guides are:
Forms: This pane contains all of your forms, some of which may not be guides. Process Central guides are within the Guides Launchpad folder.
Reports: (Administrators only): Here you will be able to display a report that gives you information about guides that are either executing or have finished executing.
Guides: While the Forms pane is where people execute guides, the Guides pane is where you design guides. Guides that you design are available to other users.
The following figure shows where these features are located.
