Take the first-run tour
Hilal Software ships with interactive in-app tours for key sections. You can start a tour manually from the help control on pages that have one. It’s the fastest way to get oriented after Amazon is connected and your team is in.
In this guide:
- Trigger the tour
- Move through the steps
- Replay any tour later
- Hide the global help icon while a tour runs
Prerequisites
- You’ve completed steps 1–5 of the Getting started guide.
- You’re viewing a page that has a tour available (Welcome, Dashboard, Purchase Orders, Vendor Management, or Expenses).
Step 1: Start a tour
- Open a section with a tour available (Dashboard, Purchase Orders, Vendor Management, Expenses, or Welcome).
- Click the help icon (question mark) at the bottom-right of the page.
- Click Start Tour in the menu that appears.
The tour takes over the page with a series of callouts and arrows pointing at the UI.
Step 2: Move through the steps
Each tour step has:
- A callout pointing at the relevant UI element with a short explanation.
- Next / Back buttons.
- A progress dot row at the bottom showing where you are.
- An optional embedded video for steps that benefit from a moving demo (signaled by a play icon in the callout).
Press Esc at any time to exit the tour and return to the page.
Step 3: Replay any tour later
To replay a tour you’ve already seen:
- Open the section.
- Click Start Tour at the bottom-right of the page.
Step 4: Close a tour
To close a tour at any time, press Esc or click the Close button in the tour popover.
Available tours
In-app tours are available for these sections. Click Start Tour at the bottom-right of any page to begin:
| Section | What the tour covers |
|---|---|
| Welcome | First-login onboarding and app overview. |
| Dashboard | Main KPIs, metrics, and navigation. |
| Purchase Orders | Creating and tracking purchase orders. |
| Vendor Management | Managing vendors and lead times. |
| Expenses | Recording, categorizing, and approving expenses. |
Troubleshooting
- The tour doesn’t start. Check that you’re on a section that has one. Some smaller pages (Settings → Profile, individual SKU pages) don’t have a tour.
- The callout points at the wrong element. Layout shifted while the tour was loading. Refresh and try again.
- The video in a tour step won’t play. YouTube embeds require third-party cookies — if your browser blocks them, the inline video won’t load. Click the YouTube link in the callout to open it in a new tab.
What’s next
You’re done with onboarding. Pick a section and explore — every Guide article is task-oriented, so jump to whichever job is in front of you.
