Completing the Add New Function
You must complete your name entry by adding 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 persons 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.

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

Instructions
Selecting a Location
Notice the word Branch Office, previously
entered in the Sub-Group box, now appears in
Judys 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.

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.
