Using the on-line help messages

 

Think of our on-line Help System as an "Electronic Manual" with Hypertext (related information), indexes and finds. Gone is the time-consuming job of searching through a paper manual to find related information. Each main help is broken down for you in levels of detail.

 

1st Level  Using the left mouse button to highlight, click the right mouse button or press the Help key F1 (Function key). This displays a context-sensitive help menu. The first seven or so choices are suggestions which are the MOST common selections you will want to do based on where you are.

 

2nd Level  Clicking on "Explanation" or pressing an X will display an explanation like a "normal help message" that you have seen in other programs.

 

3rd Level  The table of contents or index choice will display a breakdown of the main help headings. By selecting one of these, you’ll then be able to move through all the help messages in the system.

 

Note: You can go right to a Help Explanation by pressing ALT+F1 key and bypassing the suggestion list.

 

In just a minute, you will see the system's first view, the Bid Item List. You can add items to this bid, change, sort, find or most anything else. For a list of suggestions, remember to press the right mouse button or the HELP key, F1. If you make changes to the Bid, you can either save the changes, or start over.

 

Hypertext Help

 

By the way, the "Electronic Help Manual" has a HYPERTEXT feature ( a word in a different color) which allows you to move to words which have more information and then come back to your original place. Move your mouse pointer over the top of the word "hypertext" above and see the pointer change shape. Now, click your left mouse button on it and you will "Jump" to that topic.

If you are a contractor, remodeler, or builder, after clicking on Hyper-text above then click on Using a Mouse to Measure to see an optional program’s screen.

 

Hints:

 

Backup Backup each day off the File Menu under Transfer.

 

Recalculate You should ALWAYS select Recalculate off the Bid Menu before giving a quote from the screen then check for any omissions and all calculations carefully.

 

Helps Use the Help system often by pressing the right mouse button or the Help F1 Key, every time you hesitate

 

Remember  The three most important words are PLAY-PLAY-PLAY!

 

Click on the Exit button on this window’s toolbar to close this help message and return to the estimating system.
