[Feedback] [UX] Consider including links to other Telerik docs #59

Open ikoevska opened 7 years ago

ikoevska commented 7 years ago

A user has made the following comment via the feedback form:

"I trying to look up information on properties/methods of the Telerik user controls (TextInputUpdate property of a DataFormDataField).

It is not documented anywhere (search returns no results), nor is it used in your published examples.

Why don't you provide a proper reference manual, either downloadable or off-line?"

It is worth considering whether we want to have some visible links to docs.telerik.com or to other popular docs locations, e.g., in the footer.

This feedback is about WPF, at least the APIs quoted by the customer. We usually add links to the docs in the articles content or See Also section, when there is content relevant to the issue. For example, http://docs.telerik.com/platform/knowledge-base/troubleshooting/cannot-connect-to-database-server-from-a-data-link-server.

I know what the issue is about. This item is of a more general nature. For example, whether we want to redesign our header/footer to include more comprehensive links to other popular documentation sets. Or if we want to overhaul our search to show "Didn't find what you were looking for, why not try blah blah". It is a matter of UX and design and not so much of including links at the bottom of separate articles.
