Let's explore the following use-case.
Use Case

User Persona: Application Designer

Solution
At NovaTech, employees often struggled with understanding complex procedures outlined in their online training forms. The lack of visual aids made it difficult for the users to quickly grasp key points, procedures, and processes, and hence leading to errors and confusion. This caused inefficiencies and demanded extra time for clarification and re-training.

Sam, Application Designer at NovaTech, utilized the Image Display Control to enhance the online training forms. He strategically integrated icons and graphical elements to improve navigation and user experience.
He has embedded relevant images and diagrams in the form to explain complex procedures and provide visual references.

By incorporating the Image Display Control into the online training forms: 

Improved Comprehension: Employees found instructions clearer, resulting in fewer errors. 

Efficiency: Reduction in additional clarification and re-training sessions saved both time and resources..
