Guide user gem

Rails
1

Hello, i am looking for a technique or even better a gem that i could
use
in order to design a step-by-step guide for my members when they first
sign-in. To be more specific i need a way to guide users after they
register in order to to show them how they should move on with the
application, what fields they should complete first etc… anyone
experienced with a guide like that before?

Thanks,
C

I’d say this might be a failure in user design; requiring a user to go
through a tutorial before using your app can be a huge turnoff for
many users. But it really depends on the subject area and what you’re
trying to accomplish.

The best form of this is an active tutorial alongside the forms, that
guides the user as they fill things out, but can stay out of their
way. I don’t have a ready example, sadly. The second best form of this
is providing help callouts the user can hover over and/or click on.
Generally a question mark icon is indicative of available help.
