Getting started guide

Jalonia · Version française · Open the application

In 15 minutes: look at an example, write your first document, get the Word or PDF file. The application runs in your browser (Chrome or Edge recommended): nothing is sent over the internet.

1. Look at an example

   Menu File › Work instruction example (or Procedure example). Go through the 4 steps in the left column: Identification, Flow, Summary, Generation. Click Flowchart preview (step 2) to see the drawing.

2. Describe your organisation (optional)

   File › Process map: import the PDF of your process map, enter your processes, or load “Example”. Identification then offers your processes, your area (Management, Realisation, Support, Verification) and your codes.

3. Start your document

   File › New document, then choose Procedure (level 2) or Work instruction (level 3). Fill in step 1, Identification.

4. Write the flow

   In step 2, one instruction at a time: a verb in the infinitive form, 5 words at most, one role, what comes in and what goes out. The pills add a specific feature (check, decision, delay, indicator…).

5. Check

   The coloured bar at the bottom counts errors and warnings against the rules of the language (click it to expand). In step 3, review the summary then approve it: step 4 opens.

6. Generate and save

   In step 4, download the Word file or save as PDF. Save button: a .json file to keep; Open a file to resume it. Your draft lives in the browser: clearing its data erases it.
