Tours that grow with the level.

Product tours and welcome flows tied to feature levels — without being patronising.

Overview

First steps, not endless wizards.

The onboarding building block ships short tours per role and per feature level. New trainers learn to create a course — admins see where the flavour settings live. Every tour is skippable, every one is persisted.

Core features

What this building block brings.

R1

Tour engine

Step-by-step guidance with highlighting, tooltips and next/back — no external libraries.

R1

Level-linked

Tours activate when a feature level is reached — not when something is just installed.

R1

Role-specific

Dedicated flows for admins, trainers, learners — each sees only what's relevant.

R1

Skippable & repeatable

Skip a tour in one click — restart it later from the “Your Onboarding” tour catalogue.

R1

Welcome message

First login shows a short intro — then it's straight to the content.

R1

No popup storm

One tour at a time, max three steps without a pause. No cognitive overload.

How it works

How onboarding runs.

  1. First login

    Welcome dialog shows a short role-specific summary of what's reachable.

  2. Tour trigger

    When a feature level activates, the right role gets offered a matching tour.

  3. Highlight + step

    The tour highlights elements on the page and explains them in 1–2 sentences.

  4. Remember progress

    Per-user storage records which tours were completed, read or skipped.

No generic wizards

No welcome tour for features that aren't even on. Only what's actually visible.

Trainer perspective

New trainers are guided through course creation — including a pointer to the Context Helper.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can I disable tours entirely?

Yes — platform-wide via admin setting or individually via user preference.

How do I create custom tours?

Each building block provides its tours as a structured list of steps. Storing progress and triggers (e.g. first visit to a page, new level) is handled by the onboarding building block. The technical hook is in the developer guide.

Are tours accessible?

Yes. Each step is an accessible dialog: keyboard focus is trapped, ESC closes at any time, screen readers receive proper announcements — WCAG 2.1 AA compliant.
