Käyttöosioissa

Käyttöosioissa is a Finnish term used in technical writing to refer to the sections of a document that describe how something is used, operated, or configured. The expression signals where readers should look for guidance on applying a product or system in practice, rather than for theoretical descriptions or specifications.

Etymology and morphology: the word is a compound formed from käyttö (use, utilization) and osio (section). The form osioissa is the inessive plural, meaning “in the sections.” Thus käyttöosioissa literally means “in the usage sections.” The base form is käyttöosio, and the phrase is commonly used in manuals, guides, and help desks to indicate location within a document.

Typical usage: käyttöosioissa commonly contains instructions, step-by-step procedures, examples, troubleshooting tips, and configuration options related to actual use. It complements other parts of a document such as the tekniset tiedot (technical specifications), asennusohjeet (installation instructions), or turvallisuusohjeet (safety guidelines). The term helps structure content so readers can quickly find practical guidance.

Examples:

- Käyttöosioissa kerrotaan ohjelmiston perustoiminnot ja asetusten muuttaminen.

- Käyttöosioissa esitetyt esimerkit havainnollistavat yleisiä käyttötapoja ja virhetilanteita.
