HELP MANUAL POINTS TO CONSIDER 

ONBOARDING
    - The manual and/or guides and/or built into UI guided help needs to answer all the specific questions people have when onboarding
        - For example a section for technicians, dispatcher, each business role and then under that answers to basic questions:
            - How do I see my workorders that are open
            - How do I see who is where today
            - How do order inventory
    - The old manual and guide weren't job and task oriented so it doesn't directly answer questions people have, 
        it just shows how to use features which isn't the way people approach it when familiarizing themselves.

PRE-SALES
    - Similar to onboarding but a higher level view, just basically answering the questions "Can it do XXX??"
    - Perhaps it's the same as onboarding but you have to click through for ever increasing detail so you can abandon once your question is answered 






- User docs and manual written in Markdown format (commonmark).
- MKDOCS tool used to generate static html "site" for docs
- Docs versioned into folders by major/minor version, so different docs for 8.1 and again different for 8.2.  Patch revisions don't change docs.
- Static docs site incorporated into AyaNova backend so can view the docs for that release inside it directly.
- Docs written in parallel with development as per agile principles so as soon as a feature is added it's documented as well.

## Markdown for documentation
- [Commonmark cheat sheat](http://commonmark.org/help/)
- [Commonmark testing 'dingus'](http://commonmark.org/help/)
- Convert markdown to other formats with this tool http://pandoc.org/
    - Useful for standalone docs maybe

- Auto generate a static site from markdown docs with this developer tool: http://www.mkdocs.org/
- Material theme for MKDOCS https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/
- MKDocs WIKI (themes, solutions to tricky things etc) https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/wiki

** MKDOCS **
- HOW TO RUN IT: python -m mkdocs serve to run the server, python -m mkdocs build to build the site
- package is tragically out of date on my debian, have to install manually
- Already had Python 2.7.13 (mkdocs page says 2.7.2 in it's example but 2.7 is ok)
- didn't have PIP so have to get that, selected python-pip in synaptic (v9.0.1-2)
- Installed mkdoc by running pip install mkdoc
- apparently not in path have to preface command with python like so: python -m mkdocs new ayanova
- Also installed the Material theme which looks a lot nicer
