Screen Layout...

1. These buttons and options allow you to maintain your catalogue database.  By clicking on any of the options at the top of the screen you will be shown a list of tasks that can be carried out.  Each one of these tasks has a 'hotkey' listed.  Once you become familiar with Text Tracker Suite you will begin to use the 'hotkeys' more frequently.  The Symbol buttons allows you to navigate through the current list of resources displayed, these also have 'hotkey' options.  By placing the cursor over the keys you will be given details of its function,  all are self explanitory.
2. To locate a particular resource by Title begin typing in the title in this field.  You will notice that the } symbol will move down the list of resources in accordance with the title being typed in.
3. If you're not sure of the title or you would like to generate a list of resources with a particular Author, Supplier, Barcode etc you would use the Filter option.  In the first field click on the ‚ symbol to view a list of filter options.  Once you have selected your option type in the criteria you wish to use in the second field  eg  Author = Marsden.  Now click on the Filter button and a list of resources matching this criteria will be displayed. 
4. If you wish to generate a new filter you must click on the Clear Filter button to clear the last setting.
5. The title of the currently selected record is displayed here and is shown in the resource list with a } beside it.
6. When adding, editing or viewing the details of a particular resource you click on these tabs to take you to the relevant screens.  'Hotkeys' are also attached to these Tabs and can be accessed using a combination of  ALT+ the letter underlined on each Tab eg ALT+S will take you to the Subjects screen. 

Reports

There is a basic Report Generator built into the Data Entry catalogue display grid (sounds complicated but how else can I describe the columns of data listed on the screen when you first pop into the Data Entry module?!) All you need to do is manipulate the data being displayed by using the Fiter option and multi-select / Display Selected Only options and then organise the columns as you would like to see them on paper.  Click the little Printer button towards the top of the screen, make a few decisions and view your report.  Make adjustments as necessary and then once you're happy with the layout you can save the look of the screen by clicking the Grid bar menu item up the top of the screen and following your nose... (although your eyes will prove more useful taking currently available technology into consideration!)

If you have a copy of the Voice Tutorials CD you might like to check out the Data Entry reports demos to help you find your feet.  This Report Generator is very handy to be able to use easily.

Data Grid

The columns of this screen always popup in a standard way... but that doesn't mean they have to stay that way!  Feel free to use your mouse to change column widths and even move them around if necessary.  You can save your customised look by clicking on the Grid option up on the bar menu which you can then recall whenever it is useful to do so. (I tend to move the columns as necessary because it is quite quick to do once you are familiar with the process).  How the grid looks is how the Report will look if you hit the little Printer button towards the top/middle of the screen.
