Interactive User Assistance for Online Solution Guidance

The SAP Best Practices for Insurance solution features interactive processes, supporting both
expert- and novice users.
The transactional access provided by the SAP NetWeaver Business Client UI is driven and enabled
by ROLES. The trial user roles present two views: one by transaction, and one that is business
process driven.

The process view lists all business scenarios covered by the solution.

Once a process is selected, the interactive process diagram is depicted.

The interactive process diagram is a holistic, self-contained navigation hub.

You will use this feature to navigate, explore and perform select business scenarios in the system.
The help content is context-dependent. Configurable local settings (company code, line of business,
etc.) further increase relevance (e.g. specific reference data)
