SAP Workforce Performance Builder 9.5 Introduction

1 Introduction

With the SAP Workforce Performance Builder Instant Producer you can easily create and edit content which guide the user through the processes of your enterprise applications. The slender building of the Instant Producer as well as the process-oriented and intuitive user guidance allow a fast and efficient recording of your business processes without previous training, e.g. to create simulations or documentations.

The Instant Producer can be used for example in authoring teams in which the projects are initially recorded by the subject matter experts, product- & process owner, key user and other professional experts. Therefore the knowledge of internal and external employees can be stored and reused very easy. Due to the simple use of the Instant Producer is a few technical IT knowledge required and your professional experts can directly record the system- and process knowledge by operating with the respective system. The further processing and finalization of the projects will be done afterwards by trained authors in SAP Workforce Performance Builder Producer.

The Instant Producer is the perfect tool to store the knowledge of each employee in high quality and time saving and transfer it to projects as easy as the push of a button.

This document gives you an overview of the structure and functions of the Instant Producer to be able to begin directly with the creation of projects.

3 Recording of Projects

With the recording functionality in Instant Producer a process can be recorded easily. For each recorded user action, a macro with the application’s screenshot for a particular action will be created.

Recommendation

If you made any operational errors while recording, then it is advisable, to reject the project and record it again. This might be faster and minimizes a subsequent editing effort.

To record a process with Instant Producer, proceed as follows:

1. Starting the recording

1. From the toolbar in the Project Explorer view, click on New Project. Alternatively, you can start a recording immediately upon launching the Instant Producer. Refer to the section on: Starting the Instant Producer

2. Choosing the window and profile

1. Choose the Window: Select the application window that you want to record from the list. The selected window appears in the foreground.

2. Choose the Profile: This setting selects the application profile for recording the application automatically. If you want to use another profile, you can change it using the drop-down box. If both recording modes are activated, you can select Quick Recording instead of a profile.

3. Associate with Selected Window: Activate this setting, if you always want to use the profile for the selected application window.

4. Record Audio: Activate this setting, if you want to record an audio during the recording of the simulation. See also the chapter Recording Audio. The setting is displayed, if the project was created with the option Use Audio.

5. Click on Continue. The Define Recording Area dialog box opens.

7 Working with the Manager

The SAP Workforce Performance Builder Manager is a server-based productive environment to support groups of authors, in which the learning units are collected and managed centrally. Amongst other benefits, this allows uniform resources to be made available to all authors and projects to be set up centrally and to be assigned to the respective authors for recording. In addition, the projects can be recorded in the Instant Producer and made available centrally for further editing in the Producer.

Update resources

The option Get resources from server, which is found in the settings dialog box, allows you to manually update the local resources of a workarea with the resources from the Manager, After selecting this option, the resources will be automatically updated. Refer to the section on The settings dialog box

7.1 Setting up a Connection

To set up a connection to the Manager, you can start a file named connection.managerConnection from its workarea screen. This file contains all the necessary settings for establishing a connection. To do this you need to be able to access the Manager. If this is not the case, contact your administrator.

The procedure to establish a connection to the Manager is as follows:

1. First, log on to the Manager with your user data.

2. Then, select the workarea where the projects of the Instant Producer are to be stored.

3. Click on button Open Instant Producer to establish a connection.

4. Then click in the download dialog on Open. This will open a dialog that contains the URL and the user login.

5. Enter your password in this dialog and confirm it with Ok. Then, all the available resources from the Manager will be downloaded to your local system.

6. Confirm the process dialog with Ok and restart the Instant Producer.

The Instant Producer is now connected to the Manager and you can start creating your projects.

7.2 Exchanging Projects

The Manager facilitates basic processes involved in working with projects. The projects can either be created directly in the Instant Producer or you can download blank projects that were pre-defined in the Manager and


SAP Workforce Performance Builder 9.5 Working with the Manager

assigned to the respective author. Subsequently, the relevant processes are recorded and edited in the Instant Producer. In the final step, the projects are saved on the server to make them available centrally.

Functions in the toolbar

Once the connection to the Manager has been established the following functions will be available in the toolbar of the Instant Producer:

• Get projects...: With this command you can download all the projects stored in the Manager that were assigned to you as author to your local system. If there are no projects assigned to you on the server, a corresponding message will be displayed in a dialog.

• Save on the server: This command saves the projects currently selected in the Project Explorer on the Manager server. Once activated, a dialog with the following options is displayed:

• Save and finish editing: Saves the project on the server in its current state and relinquishes write authorization for the project.

• Save: Saves the project on the server in its current state.

Note

The projects stored on the Manager server are subject to a so-called write authorization. The purpose of this is to prevent problems caused by several people editing a project simultaneously; consequently, only one author can be authorized to edit a project at any one time. As soon as an author starts working, they are automatically assigned the write authorization. By selecting command Save and finish editing you relinquish this authorization.

7.3 Project Settings

When exchanging projects between the Instant Producer and the Manager, there are a variety of settings that can be configured to facilitate working with both applications.

Once changes have been made to the settings, you can transfer these changes by clicking on the option Save to the server.

The project status

In the Project Explorer, you can assign a status for the editing progress of the project on the basis of pre-defined values. When working with the Manager, you need to bear in mind that for centrally saved projects it is the status selection from the Manager that is used and that the values in the status list of the Instant Producer are replaced.



When you save a locally created project on the Manager server, this will initially not be assigned a status on principle. Since the project is now available locally and centrally, the status values in the Instant Producer will be replaced by those of the Manager. Select the desired status for the project and save the project once more on the server to transmit the value.

To edit the status of a project, you can click on Change status, which is found in the Project Explorer. Refer to the section on Structure of the Project Explorer

Settings in the properties dialog box

The settings specifically configured for the Manager from the properties dialog box will affect the workflow of your projects.

The data is downloaded from the Manager and displayed in the settings.

The following settings are available:

• Author: The editor for the project can be selected from the drop-down list.

• Type: The type of editing to be done on the project can be selected from the drop-down list.

If when referring to members of both sexes, however, the third-person singular cannot be avoided or a gender-neutral noun does not exist, SAP reserves the right to use the masculine form of the noun and pronoun. This is to ensure that the documentation remains comprehensible.
