Introducing QualiHelp
QualiWare’s Innovative Dynamic Help Widget

Inside the Web-Modeler

  • User-Centric Design: Designed with you in mind, QualiHelp delivers timely and relevant assistance when creating the diagram.
  • Smart Context Recognition: Working on a diagram in the web-modeler? QualiHelp discerns the context and swiftly retrieves the relevant guides for you.
  • Comprehensive Guidance: Be it the diagram, symbols, or connections, QualiHelp ensures you’re equipped with the right information every time.

Outside the Web-Modeler

  • Extended Support: QualiHelp serves as a comprehensive resource center, providing easy access to a wide range of QualiWare tools and resources, catering to diverse user needs beyond the Web-Modeler.
  • Static Resource Access: This mode offers direct links to essential resources such as Getting Started guides, FAQs, and the latest QualiWare updates, ensuring key information is readily available.
  • Consistent User Experience: QualiHelp ensures a uniform, user-friendly experience across the QualiWare platform, offering the necessary support and information regardless of where you are in your QualiWare journey.

QualiHelp adapts its functionalities based on whether you are inside or outside the Web-Modeler in QualiWare. Inside the Web-Modeler, QualiHelp focuses on providing real-time, context-sensitive assistance tailored to diagram creation and modeling activities. It dynamically responds to your actions, offering specific guidance on diagrams, symbols, and connections.

Outside the Web-Modeler, QualiHelp shifts to a resource-centric approach. It acts as a static hub, providing quick access to a broad spectrum of QualiWare resources. This includes direct links to Getting Started guides, FAQs, and the latest platform updates.

In essence, while QualiHelp inside the Web-Modeler is dynamic and contextually aware, outside it becomes a rich resource center, ensuring users have the necessary support in every aspect of their interaction with QualiWare.

Finding the Help

When you first open the Web-Modeler in QualiWare, look for a small green floating button in the bottom right corner. It’ll ask, “Do you need help using QualiWare?”. After a few seconds, to keep your workspace tidy, the button will minimize, showing only the icon and hiding the text.

Adjusting the Help Window

For added convenience, you can adjust this window to your liking: drag its edges to resize or use the maximize button, found to the left of the ‘x’, to view in full screen.
