Features
VisualSP is a full-featured training and support system
In-Context Learning within the Web Browser
Training and help in the context of where your users are working. The VisualSP tab follows you around wherever you go. Whenever you need help, all you do is click on the VisualSP tab, view the help item, and continue with the task at hand – no figuring out where to look, what to call the thing you’re working on, how to spell it, which version the help article matches, or any other frustrations of searching for help. Relevant help is always available in-context and on-demand.
Content libraries available from us through content packs you can snap in or create your own content and snap it in the system.
Essential Training directly within Microsoft Teams
Complete access to hundreds of Microsoft 365 training assets directly through the VisualSP for Microsoft Teams app – desktop, web and mobile. Users see the VisualSP app in the left navigation of Teams. The same experience can be deployed to a Teams channel as well for easy reference.
The training assets can be acquired from us through our content packs or can be your own custom content specific to your company.
Interactive Walkthroughs
A walkthrough is a microlearning guide that appears as an overlay on top of the environment. Give your users their very own on-demand personal coach who will guide them through important learning points like a GPS.
Pre-built walkthroughs of important functionality and features are supplied and maintained by VisualSP. Completely customizable so you can edit existing walkthroughs and create your own as well. Help your users get up to speed quickly by building custom step-by-step walkthroughs.
Pop-Up Videos
Videos are an ideal learning tool for users who like to learn and be informed by watching. Have a video pop-up directly on top of the user’s own environment. The video window can be popped out easily so users can watch while they perform their tasks.
We have lots of training videos already hooked up within the system. These can also be custom videos like a message from your CXO or short training videos explaining your business process.
The videos can be hosted by you internally or you can link to external videos anywhere on the web.
Inline Help
Isn’t it frustrating when you come across a difficult concept and don’t know what it means? Your users feel the same way.
Provide on-demand information and help for elements on your pages by placing inline help icons quickly and easily wherever you want. Make the discovery process intuitive, like the rest of the web, by providing visual clues for any element on your page. Un-frustrate your users with these interaction points that make it easier for them to access help and information as they need it directly on the page and at their moment-of-need.
Alerts and Notifications
Your users may routinely ignore company email messages, absentmindedly deleting important announcements without even reading them.
Ensure your users see important communications by using VisualSP to automatically load messages on top of their application as a pop-up splash screen that’s tracked when clicked. Increase the efficiency of your messaging for important, company-wide notifications. Human Resources, Communications, and Legal departments can leverage pop-up messaging to make sure important information is seen by users.
Announcement Banners
You can use the announcement bar to display a custom message at the top or bottom of any Microsoft 365 application. This is a great way to announce a change or other important updates that would usually have been missed by employees if sent through email.
Custom announcements can be shown at exactly the right time you need, for the exact duration that you need. Specify a time frame for announcements to be shown, and rest easy knowing that your announcements will be displayed without any additional work required.
Full Usage Analytics Reporting
Never be in the dark again wondering about what type of help your users are looking at. You get full usage reporting of exactly which applications your users are clicking on. Not only that, but you will see exactly what searches they are doing in the help system and a full report of which help items are being utilized and which are not.
