Adding Context Sensitive Help

Hi. I have an established app which users don’t have a problem with using so overall the interface and my use of ShowIf to hid certain fields based on other field values works well.

However, our operation does have some complex processes which are not so easy for new volunteers to grasp. So I’d like to be able to create some short help files where I can keep some help text that would only appear if a certain set of values appear in other fields.

So, for example, one of our coordinators selects a particular job type. I’d then like to show a link to the help text that they can click on and that would pop open a box over the top with the help information in it. I know that you can link out to PDFs but that’s not always convenient if the user is on a small phone screen. So some simple bullet points in a pop-up that can be accessed if needed would be a better option.

Is this possible? Anyone done anything similar? I’m OK with developing the expressions that would decide if help was available and how to manage the help information within data. It’s the UX side of things that I’m seeking help with.

Many thanks
