Creating better content with user feedback analytics
One of the perennial issues facing Technical Writers is receiving feedback on their work
once they have delivered. Questions related to how often it is viewed, whether it was
useful and the areas of the help most accessed are among the top priorities for a
Technical Writer.
Additionally technical writers may work with application developers to improve the
user interface, but getting hold of concrete data on the areas end users find most
difficult to use can be problematic.
For example:
An international food company based in the US used the Frequently Viewed Topics

these topics always displayed information about the most frequently asked questions.
A US financial institution used Adobe RoboHelp Server’s Search Terms with no
Results report to highlight search terms used by their end users that were returning
