| Workmate Introduction |
|
| The screen of Workmate is made up of two main parts. These parts are the frame and windows. The frame is the portion across the top of the screen and down the left hand side of the screen. The frame contains the main menu, main tool bar and task bar. The main menu and main tool bar (referred to as the 'tool bar') are across the top of the screen and the task bar is down the left hand side of the screen. |
 |
| Main Tool Bar (Tool Bar) |
| The main tool bar is a shortcut route to the main parts of the program that you will be using on a daily basis. |
| Main Menu |
| The main menu has a list of all the parts of the program that you can access. You are unlikely to be using any of the menu options on a daily basis unless you are an administrator, or are setting your Workmate system up. Because this Workmate Tour is designed to show you how to Get Results from the system we will not get into the detail of to set the program up here. If you do want to know more about setting your Workmate system up, please refer to the user manual which can be found on the CD ROM that came with your Workmate program. |
| Task Bar |
| Each window you open will appear with a Task Bar on the left hand side of the screen. The task bar has the functions in it that relate to using the window that is open. These functions are the print, undo, cut, copy, paste and close functions. These buttons are the same sort of button you will see on most software programs and are for sending a document to a printer, working with text in a window or the close button to close that particular window. Sometimes there will be two extra buttons, the insert line and delete line buttons. These buttons will only appear when there is a part of the active window where you can insert a new line or delete a line. |

| The Four Main Parts of Workmate |
When looking at the menu options within Workmate, the system may look a little daunting, especially when you are looking at it for the first time. Workmate is, however, really a very simple program and you will be working with it very well by the time you have spent a couple of hours reading through this Workmate Tour and practicing some of the setup and editing events described.
Lets get started!
This Tour is divided into eight main sections, while Workmate is divided into four main parts. We will deal with each section in the order shown.
- Some Basic Functions
- Workmate Explorer
- Workmate Schedulex
- Workmate Visualx
- Workmate Control Centre (My Custom Reports)
- Planned Maintenance
- Maintenance Work Orders
- Activity Transactions
You might think it is strange to have the Workmate Control Centre at number 5 especially when it is the first and main window to open in the application.
There is a reason for this. The Workmate Control Centre is a summary of all activity that is happening within the system and the place where you can build your 'My Custom Reports' list of personalised reports. It is only possible to build a report when you have an idea of what is happening in the background of the system. Workmate Explorer and Workmate Schedulex are the two main 'background' components and it is just a bit more helpful to look at these parts first.
The first thing we need to do is outline basic structure of Workmate and go over some of the basic functions that are consistent throughout the whole system. |
