Add Demo Programme Button with Guided App Tutorial / Video Walkthrough

✨ Feature Request

Summary: Add a Demo Programme button in the app to provide volunteers and admins with a guided walkthrough or video tutorial demonstrating how to use the application from start to finish.

Problem Statement: Currently:

  • New volunteers or admins may face difficulties navigating the app.
  • There is no built-in tutorial or demonstration explaining the app workflow.
  • Users may make errors or require frequent assistance from others.

Proposed Solution:

  1. Demo Programme Access:

    • Add a prominent “Demo Programme” button in the app (dashboard or login page).
    • Clicking the button opens a video tutorial or interactive walkthrough.

  2. Content of the Demo:

    • Step-by-step explanation of the entire app workflow, e.g.:

      1. Login process (Volunteer/Admin)
      2. Patient registration
      3. Vitals entry
      4. Medicine assignment
      5. Counselling and prescription
      6. Doctor assignment
      7. Volunteer contribution tracking
      8. Reports and dashboards

    • Include best practices, tips, and common errors to avoid.

  3. Frontend/UI Implementation:

    • Button should be accessible yet unobtrusive.
    • Option to pause, skip, or replay tutorial content.
    • Consider interactive guided tour with tooltips highlighting each module.

  4. Backend/Content Management:

    • Host demo videos securely (e.g., on cloud storage or within app assets).
    • Optionally allow updating tutorial content without app updates.

  5. Testing:

    • Verify video or walkthrough plays correctly on all devices.
    • Ensure clarity of instructions and correct sequencing of steps.
    • Test accessibility (audio, captions) for all users.

Alternatives Considered:

  • Rely on manuals or PDFs — rejected due to low engagement and effectiveness.
  • Only text-based walkthrough — rejected as interactive or visual guides improve retention.

Benefits:

  • Helps new users quickly become familiar with the app.
  • Reduces onboarding time and need for external assistance.
  • Improves accuracy in app usage, reducing errors.
  • Enhances user experience and volunteer satisfaction.

Risks or Concerns:

  • Video or tutorial must be kept up-to-date with app changes.
  • Large media files may affect app load time or storage (if offline).
  • Need to ensure compatibility across devices and screen sizes.

Additional context or references:

  • Could integrate with onboarding screens or a help section.
  • Could include analytics to see which parts of the demo are most accessed or skipped.
