Hi Ngoc,
We still have the issue and it is according to me because we didn't implement Variance Analysis functionality (and then have not the dashboard menu).
Maybe good that the In-App Training Hub is aligned to the Company profile definition

Hi @Rebecca Brand and @Philippe te Kolsté,
The walkthrough can be a bit finicky. If the Plan section is already expanded, you'll need to click to collapse it and then click again to reopen it to proceed to the next step.
Here's a short video showing the click path I followed: https://www.loom.com/share/83440ff48a074914a747255b447ce304?sid=cd37c4b6-2a74-4b7f-aa8e-a2b102f88236

Hi Ngoc, its the step that asks you to click plan to view the navigation menu. after expanding plan section there is not next step provided. I have tried with the plan section closed to only click once and with it open to double click.

Hi Rebecca, The 5th step requires you to expand the left-side navigation. If this is already expanded, you would have to double-click it to move on to the next step. Let me know if that resolves your issue.

Hi Ngoc, The in App Training Hub is a great idea and will be useful for new users. I have looked at the Apptio Planning Overview session and it does not go past the Plan part (5th Step) Similarly so does the Basic Expense tables operation at the 5th step. I have tested in 2 of our environments and get the same result.
