Haruno Knowledge base

The in-app guide

Help, User Guide opens short how-to guides inside the Windows app, with search, step pictures and a link to the full documentation online. The guides follow the app's language and your own shortcuts.

  • Mac appNot availableThe Mac's Help menu has What's New, Keyboard Shortcuts and the Privacy Policy, and no guide.
  • Windows appAvailable

The Windows app has a built-in guide. Open it with Help ▸ User Guide. It is short and practical, and it works without leaving the app.

What you see

The page is called User Guide. Under the title it says Short, practical guides to getting things done in Haruno. There is a search box, a row of guide cards, and a link at the top right, Full documentation on haruno.ai, which opens the online documentation in your browser.

Reading a guide

Click a card to open it. A guide is split into short sections with their own headings. Some sections have a step picture. Click a picture to see it larger, and press Close to come back. All guides takes you back to the list. Links inside a guide jump to another guide, to a section of one, or to a web page in your browser.

Searching

Type in Search the guides. It looks in titles, summaries, the text of every section and the picture captions, and shows only the guides that match. If nothing matches, it says No guides match your search.

It follows you

  • Language. The guides are written in the language of the app: English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese or Arabic. Change the app's language and the guides change with it.
  • Your shortcuts. Wherever a guide names a key, it shows the key you have set, not the one Haruno started with. If you cleared a shortcut, it says (no shortcut assigned). The Keyboard shortcuts guide ends with the full tables.
Where the guide stops

The guides cover the everyday app. The finance side, such as the Portfolio and company pages, is not in them.

What to tell a customer

  • The guide is in the app, under Help. They do not need the internet to read it.
  • For more detail, the link at the top of the page opens the full documentation on the Haruno website.
