Hello Jelena,

Is this post also about Ataccama Desktop application documentation? I’m using desktop IDE 14.5 and i was recently working on creating some components.
I wish documentation would be more detailed, with examples explaining various steps and logics.

I.e. for Step Regex Matching it was impossible for me to understand how to use the function properly and assistance from colleague from my team was required to understand the function. More detailed example would be: in this step how the field Substitution works. Now I am aware it corresponds to Matching Group from regex expression but its isn’t specified in documentation i.e. to follow naming convention of $0-$n

Hi Szymon, 

Thank you for reaching out! We’re also curious about our ONE Desktop docs, thank you for sharing. 

Are there any other steps that were particularly difficult to figure out? This would help us with prioritizing. If you have more feedback you’d like to share, we can schedule a session to discuss this in more detail. 

I’d also like to encourage you to use Was this page useful? option if you come across issues with our docs (including in-app help, such as ONE Desktop product docs). You can find it at the bottom of any documentation article: if you select No, you can provide a description of the issue. We read all comments carefully and do our best to address what was reported in a timely manner.

Have a great day,

Jelena

Hello Jelena,

I seem to don’t have that button:

Other hard step would be Multiplicative Pattern Parser. Docs aren’t explaining too much and tutorial that there is for this step is very little helpful. I.e. it doesn’t explain anything about Pattern Groups and I am struggling with escaping some character as it just doesn’t parses.

Hi Szymon,

You can find this option in our online documentation: https://docs.ataccama.com/one-desktop/latest/overview.html. While we don’t have dedicated pages for steps in online documentation, you can leave feedback on any other article and we’ll process it accordingly. 

Thank you for the details, it’s super helpful! We’ll take a look at how we can improve this and whether some information can be included in online docs instead so you get access to it even before upgrading to the latest version (as we have no way of updating the ONE Desktop help in older versions, only in the upcoming one).

Have a great day,

Jelena

Is there somewhere we can send our feedback? Or would you like it all posted here?
