Introducing our new video tutorials

Kate Wells

Happy New Year everyone. You’re in for a treat with this month’s user tip blog – it’s a real cracker!

We’ve been working on these for a little time now; and having personally been heavily involved in their creation I’m super excited to announce the release of our brand new video tutorials….queue fanfare and fireworks….

As you know we already provide a range of support resources to help you answer your own questions, on your own schedule including:

• Our Knowledge Base;
• the user hints & tips you’ll find dotted around the Genovo app in the form of page helps;
• our monthly user tip blogs
• our monthly training webinar; and
• the Genovo community forum.

However, these video tutorials add yet another string to the bow of the Genovo Smart Support hub and mean we can now provide our users with access to a range of support resources via a range of different mediums.

We’ve created 20 video tutorials covering everything you need to know about the Genovo suitability report app, from how to manage your account and write a report, to how to customise the content of your report template; and you’ll notice that the videos are broken down into bite-sized chunks of anywhere between 2 and 10 minutes so they’re easy to consume and digest.

Where can you find the video tutorials?

The Genovo website

You can access the entire video tutorial library via the Smart Support link included under the resources tab in the website’s main navigation bar. Once in the Genovo Smart Support hub click on the video tutorials link as shown in the screenshot below. 



Within the video tutorial library you’ll notice that the videos have been grouped together to mirror the Genovo dashboard i.e.

1. Account Admin
2. Investments & Providers
3. Customisation
4. How to write a report

And you can filter and sort the videos by clicking on the different topics listed out in the menu to the right, highlighted in the screenshot below. 

The Genovo Suitability Report App

You can also access the video tutorials from directly within the Genovo app.
You may have noticed that a video tutorial icon has recently appeared next to the page help icon in the top right hand corner of various pages within the Genovo app.



Much like the page helps, if you click on the video tutorial icon, a new lightbox window will open up within the page containing a video tutorial specifically related to the page you’re on.

Well that’s it for this month’s user tip – I hope it’s been useful. Please do check out the video tutorials and let me know what you think, and keep an eye on your inbox for more helpful user tips over the coming months.
