| <h3><b>Guiding the user through tasks</b></h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| Even when the platform UI filters out unneeded functionality, there is still a steep learning |
| curve faced by a new user. The platform UI introduces several mechanisms for helping the user choose what |
| task needs to be done and guiding the user through the steps in that task. These mechanisms are used by |
| the workbench itself to help guide Eclipse SDK users through tasks. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Cheat sheets can help guide the user through a series of |
| steps in order to achieve some |
| overall goal. Some steps can be performed by the cheat sheet, and some are described so that the user |
| can manually complete the step.</li> |
| <li>Composite cheat sheets |
| can guide the user through larger problems by breaking that problem into tasks. |
| Each task is represented by a simple cheat sheet. </li> |
| </ul> |
