"Getting Started" guide?

Added by Brad Smith about 10 years ago

Hello all,

I hope this is a dumb question with an obvious answer, but…

OK, so I got OpenProject installed. Yay! …now what? The help page seems to focus on the feature tour and FAQ, but both of these seem to spend more time talking about what you can do than how to do it, from what I’ve seen.

I would love to be told that there’s an obvious link to a Getting Started guide and/or some kind of detailed reference that I’m just embarrassing myself by missing. Is there one, or is it just assumed that the interface speaks for its self? (and it is a nicely done interface, I just want to be sure I’m not missing something)

Hi Brad,

This is a very good question and no, you are not missing anything.

We are working on a comprehensive User Guide to answer precisely the “how” kind of questions. It will be published as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Maya

Hi Brad,

until we published the User Guide you can use the user guide created by the community member Brendan Dunn ( direkt link to the pdf ) from this tread

Thanks very much for the link Christian, and Maya I look forward to the release of the official guide!

Hi again,

the User Guide is there[1]! It should cover you in terms of getting started. We will expand it later and include more information.

Read away and let me know if you have any feedback.

Cheers,
Maya

Great! I propose that you put this announcement in News section as well, so that wider audience is aware of it.

Thanks,
Igor

Indeed, this is very exciting news! Thanks to everyone who worked on it. :D

RE: "Getting Started" guide? - Added by Brad Smith about 10 years ago

Hmm.. when I first clicked on the link, it went to a really nice-looking user guide page, but now

https://openproject.org/help/user-guides/

and any link under it seems to just forward to the old

https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/wiki/Support

Are others seeing this, too?

RE: "Getting Started" guide? - Added by Robin Wagner about 10 years ago

Hi Brad,

thanks for pointing this out.
Yes, this happens for me too. Seems to be a problem with a redirect.

We’ll look into this.

RE: "Getting Started" guide? - Added by Robin Wagner about 10 years ago

Quick update:
The link to the user guide is working properly now.

Best,
Robin
