Version numbering

Valuemation help is perpetual work in progress. Individual help versions are numbered as follows:

E.g. 'Help 5.0 v1.01'

  • <Help 5.0> = application version
  • <v1> = major help content updates
  • <.01> = minor improvements and corrections

Version number 0.01 denotes preliminary help output released with a brand new Valuemation version. The preliminary help version is followed by an early update delivered with the nearest Valuemation hotfix.

Help Sections

Valuemation help is divided into four main sections:

  • Valuemation Essentials

    Section covering the basics of using Valuemation as seen from the end-user perspective: navigation, menus, main working areas. Special emphasis is placed on the description of Valuemation business views, InfoObjects, editors and catalogs.

  • Valuemation Core

    Describes customization and administration tools (Customizers, Workflows, API, Settings , etc.) and other aspects of the application common to all Valuemation business functionality (Printing, Import/Export, Escalation etc.)

    The intended target group of this section are personnel specializing in Valuemation customization.

  • Business Functionality

    Information on standard Valuemation business functionality. Actual customer site functionality might require supplementary project-specific documentation.

  • Installation

    Intended for IT experts dealing with Valuemation installation and implementation. Provides information on actual installation steps, existing Valuemation architectures and corresponding hardware and software requirements.

Target Groups

This help covers the entire scope of help topics. 'Valuemation Essentials' and 'Business Modules' sections are targeted mainly at the end user, 'Core Functionality' and 'Architecture & Installation' are meant for Valuemation administrators and customization experts.

Project-specific Documentation

'Project-specific Documentation' functionality offers the possibility to link customer-specific documentation, such as project-related documents provided by local Valuemation customization experts. It can also be used to link relevant internal company documents, guidelines and other sources of information.
