All material, software
and information (C) 1995-2002 Wyka-Warzecha Enterprises.
Client Page:
When you click on "Proceed to the demo", you will be presented with a menu that has
five options. Choose the last option, which is the "Client Page". This is an example of
what customers would see. (Some features have been disabled within this demo. For more information,
please see the section "Extra Information").
Please note: On a slow modem connection (28K, 56K), it may take between 30 seconds and 1 minute to load in. Please be patient
Section I: Templates
"Templates" are promotions (computer furniture)
that you can create and display to your customers when you want.
1. In the upper left hand corner, you will see a list of items in a box. Click on
"Standard Configuration". A sample computer furniture configuration is created.
2. Move the mouse over the image that appears, and drag the mouse from left to right, or
up and down. (Dragging is when you press the mouse button, hold on it and then move the
mouse).
Double-clicking on the image will cycle between a "Solid" image, to a
"Solid drawing with lines", to a "Line" drawing.
Section
II:Custom Design:
Custom Design allows you to easily create
custom configurations, and then you
can add extra items.
For example, a client can specify certain parameters (such as room dimensions, network
requirements, and so forth) and a configuration will be created to best suit their needs.
If they need to make extra changes, they can do so.
1. Click on the "Custom Design" button on the left hand side.
2. Click the mouse on the white box next to where it says "How many Servers?"
3. Type in a number (such as "2").
4. Click the mouse on the white box next to where it says "How many Consoles?"
5. Type in a number (such as "5").
6. Click on "Create Design"
A computer furniture configuration that best suits your needs is created! (In this sample,
the logic is basic for demonstration purposes).
Section
III: Modifying and/or Creating a furniture configuration.
1. Assuming you worked through Section II,
double-click on the image until it is a solid image.
2. Click on the "Reset Zoom" button, and then the "Reset Rotation"
button. (This makes it easier to make changes).
3. Click on "Move" (so that you can make changes).
4. Click on one of the monitors. Some yellow markers (meaning you have selected it) should
appear.
5. Click on the "delete" key, and then the monitor will be removed.
6. To add an extra shelf, click on the "Add Components" button, then click on
the "2015 Shelf".(Please note: Since this is a
demo, the item is always placed in the center, so you may not
immediately see the component unless you rotate the entire object, by
clicking on 'rotate', and then rotating it.)
7. Drag the mouse (hold on the mouse button while moving it). Move left or right to place
the mouse.
You have now modified and created a computer configuration!
