About Yonyx Release 9.0
We at OPTIfarm have used Yonyx for over a year now and in that time we’ve built up guides containing a huge amount of knowledge and data. The new version 9.0 then took this to a whole new level. It gave us the opportunity to streamline our guides taking out any duplication and at the same time adding more detail which is now even easier to navigate.
The Placeholder and Auto-Traverse options were game changers. Using these allowed us to create more content that was easier for the Team to use and much easier for the authors to build. Using the Placeholders for templated text is a huge advantage. This allows us to update generic text that is on hundreds of slides in a matter of minutes. Also, a combination of Placeholders and Auto-Traverse has now been used to automate parts of our guide. It’s early days yet, I’m sure I will be able to get a whole lot more out of these fantastic features.
About Myself:
When I’m not authoring Yonyx guides and looking after the welfare of chickens I’m generally either preparing or consuming food and drink with friends.I’m a keen cook but I have taken the drink part further. Together with a close friend we have converted a small barn in Leicestershire where I live into a brewery. We make all sorts of craft ales that we distribute to all of our friends. Makes us very popular!

About My Role & Yonyx Release 9.0
I have been writing for Interface since 2005. I was made Employee of the Year 2005 for my writing work. In 2012, I was promoted to Technical Writer and placed on a Process Improvement team. I began using Yonyx in 2015. I am now, the go-to person at Interface for Yonyx. I have spent over 1,600 hours authoring guides in Yonyx. I have an Associates Degree in Graphic Communications and Design. To quote Jim Little, our Trainer “Ken takes outlines and turns them into beautiful Yonyx guides.”
My serious take away is that I enjoy working with the 9.0 release. Even though I sometimes feel it takes me longer to do some tasks, I can see how it would benefit everyone. I like the way the edit/map view displays the guides. I like the flow of the navigation view with the new guides I am building in the 9.0 release. I like the responsiveness and openness of the Yonyx team to making adjustments and fixes. The Yonyx team is always willing to offer solutions and training. I like the performance of opening maps and being able to start from a specific node.
My life & hobbies
My hobbies include writing for myself, communicating with likeminded individuals, and reading books on strategy, organization, literature, and problem solving. The literature I read the most involves fantasy and science fiction. I enjoy games of all types with my family and friends. I am also an avid teacher of life and other things to my twin daughters Ally and Abby. Lastly, I am in love with my best friend and beautiful wife Ann.
