2. Instructions JOB EVALUATION SUITE “Judy,” our tour guide, will ask the user to login by entering company name and password. For this demonstration the company name is “Wa Ergo” and the password is 81040. (When in doubt, read “Judy’s” instructions.) Next Page

5. Instructions Name Not Found If your name is not on the list you must add your name by clicking on the “Add New” link. Back Next Page

6. Instructions Completing the Add New Function You must complete your name entry by adding a comma, a space, and your first name. Entering a “Password” is optional and not recommended. (The password slows the process and people forget passwords. Note: The only data our application associates with a person’s name is a series of numbers 0 through 8.)Click “Save” when you are finished.  At this time the "Reminder Email" box should be left blank.  It will be used in a later revision. Back Next Page

7. Instructions Completing the Add New Function Your name should now appear as an option. Select it from the list. Back Next Page

8. Instructions Selecting a Location After the correct name has been selected, Judy will ask the user to select from a list. At this point the user is simply specifying where they are located within the organization. In this example, it is a list of clients, however, this list could contain the names of operating divisions, plant locations, departments, or whatever terminology your organization uses. In order to increase ease of use, this list will be customized for each customer. You may add additional entries and sub-entries as needed. Click on the yellow text below to see how the “New,” “Edit,” “Expand,” and “Links” buttons function. Back Next Page New Edit Expand Links

9. Instructions Adding “New” Information Clicking the “New” link will display this screen. Type the name of the “Client” that is to be added to the list. In this example, “Olympia” is to be added. The password is optional and not recommended. The “Sub-Group” box allows “Olympia” to be further defined. In this example, the title “Branch Office” will be entered as a sub-group. Back Next Page

10. Instructions Selecting a Location Notice the word “Branch Office,” previously entered in the “Sub-Group” box, now appears in Judy’s instructions and at the top of the “List” box. Notice “Olympia” has been added as a client. Because you entered “Branch Office” in the “Sub-Group” box, Judy now asks the user to “Please select a Branch Office from the list.” However, the list is empty so a new branch office location must be added. Click on the “New” button to add a branch office location. Back Next Page

11. Instructions Entering Information in the “Sub-Group” box After clicking “New” you will be able to add a branch office location to the list. In this example, Fifth Avenue was added as a branch office location. This time the “Sub-Group” box is left blank because the user will make no further selection after Fifth Avenue. You may repeat this process until a complete representation of your organization has been created. Back Return

12. Instructions Editing the Field Names Clicking on the “Edit” link will allow you to edit the text “Customer Name” and/or the sub-group title, “Client.” This is how you can specify sub-group headings as Department, Cost Center, etc. If you enter a password you will need this password to edit or add information later.
