We recently implemented in-app guides, tool tips and a Resource Center to help you and your team acclimate to features within Lab on Demand (LOD) and the Training Management System (TMS).

As you work within the platforms, keep an eye for guides that subtlety pop up on screen, are triggered behind an information marker (see example above) or  in the bottom-right corner of your screen (see example below).

Step-by-Step Guides

Now with […]
