Needs to solutions library

All apps have a help file and additional documentation (docs, as it is called nowadays). Help (the F1 key) content lists features and how to use them. But if you don't know which feature you need, the help file cannot help you.

Therefore, I have created a reverse help file – from need to solution.

In the following table, the first column lists various common needs. Search this column first. Then find the corresponding features in the App(s) and Solution columns.

This table is for illustration purposes only. The actual table/reference is much longer. Refer to the latest online version here: https://github.com/drnitinp/ebp2021/blob/main/Ch9/Needs%20to%20Solutions%20-%20Use%20Case%20Library.pdf.

You can view it online or download it. I will keep updating this. Therefore, it is better to refer to the online version rather than download it.

The Solution column shows short instructions. It is designed to be a pointer for you. By now...
