The guide displays instructions within IVION. Follow the prompts and interact with the highlighted controls as instructed.
Start with the basic tours
Open the Start here folder for an introduction to the IVION interface.
Each guide introduces an area of the interface or walks you through a short task. Follow the steps in order. A step may require you to open a menu, select a control, or navigate to another page before continuing.
More guidance will be added over time. New content may appear in Smartguide folders or as pop-up messages in IVION.
Move the Smartguide icon
If the floating icon covers a control or content you need, move it to another position:
Hover over the Smartguide icon.
Click and drag the icon to one of the suggested positions on the screen.
Release the icon to place it there.

Troubleshooting
1.“step not found” message
A guide looks for specific controls on the screen. If a required control is unavailable, the guide may display a “step not found” message.
This can happen when you are on a different page or when a required menu, panel, or dialog is closed.
To continue:
Check that you are on the page named in the guide.
Open any menu, panel, or dialog required for the step.
Follow the guide’s prompt again.
If the message remains, refresh IVION and restart the guide.
