User Manual

---------------------------------------------------------
This project is being kept as simple as posible, I am using
electrical data as I am a qualified electrician but it will be
able to be used by all trades men.
All screens will have a control tip help system with information
as to that controls usage and any helpful information I think
may help it can be turned on and of in the preferences so it
would be able to be used for training.
Both the customer and suppliers have been update from those in
DD's simple home accounts
the only differences are the email, website, notes And for the
suppliers A contact field.
You can view stored websites should one be entered.
You can open your default email client so you can send the
selected records an email using the entered email address
As you will see there is button by each field which you use for
the above.
I have also added a auto dialer so you can contact
suppliers/customers directly from the system you will need this
setup to be able to make use of this feature.
All other features work as in DD's Simple Home Accounts
This project will include complete control tip information so
should you Need information as to what a button or box does just
hover over it for a short message that should aid you

Re:WorkOrders
By: Michael Date: May 18, 2019, 6:32 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Workorders Are simpler than they look to use they have been
baised around:
[list type=decimal]
[li]Client Calls to enquire about works and requests somebody be
sent to do an estimate, a work order is created for that
estimate and report printed for engineer to take and fill out
with a short description, List of parts and maybe a small
drawing to show a basic layout[/li]
[li]Note: You can create a work order though the estimates
screen without creaating a work order to carry out the estimate
view the estimates section for more information [/li]
[li]NOTE: the date and other related items in the Start Date for
job While the client is on the phone then you should agree a
date and time for the Estimate to be carried out you can check
the availablity of all employees by clicking the "Open Diary At
This date" Button, if there is no date the current date is used
Review the diary section for information as to the diary useage.
https://databasedreams.createaforum.com/works-manager/user-manual-43/msg71/#msg…
[li]The engneer returns to the office with their paperwork
brings up the workorder as on the estimate Works Docket now the
estimate can be created, Use the create estimate button at the
top of the screen once used this is greyed out and cannot be
reused for that work order[/li]
[li]If the client Approves then the estimate is maked as
appoved, you can then from the estimate screen create a new work
Order for the approved estimate this links the new workorder and
estimate together[/li]
[li]I will cover additions to works here[/li]
[/list]
[img width=600

https://databasedreams.createaforum.com/gallery/databasedreams/1-190720144130-1…
There are two types of addition one where you need to create a
new estimate to cover the new works requested and one where the
works are only minor and can be delt with on site
The top list on the screen below shows only approved and
additions estimates and there amount is added to the work orders
additions charge.
the bottom list is a simple add date short descrition of works
and the cost parts and labour
I will cover the below in more detail as the system is futher
developed
