The section presents briefly system menu. Installation and Logging In The newest installation version currently available can be downloaded from and is an. 7 Apk file, which should be installed on the device. For specific instruction on how to install application on specific device refer to device s Manual.System Menu ArboWebForest is tabbed application, which consists of 6 tabs (Figure 1). Three tabs represent form for collecting plot data. One tab handles taking photos of the plot. The second last tab has user preferences, including login area, while the last tab displays mobile map of world without user content. Major control buttons of the program are located in Tally Trees tab. All the tabs have icon and, additionally, name at the bottom to allow distinguishing them easily. 8 Figure 1. Tabs of ArboWebForest Sample Plot tab The Sample Plot tab (Figure 2) consists of 9 input fields containing basic information about the current plot, such as plot number, date, team leader, and coordinates. It is possible to add here general description of the plot and remarks. Getting Started user s Manual Page 3-2 Figure 2.

There are navigation buttons located here that allow navigating between different trees from specific plot. In the tab, there are also buttons allowing saving plot information to phone as well as Getting Started user s Manual Page 3-6 to server (Figure 7). 10 It is possible from here to create completely new plot, edit plots saved locally (for example, plots downloaded from server), and delete plots stored locally. Buttons at the bottom row allow downloading and uploading between the application and server. Figure 6. Tally Trees tab (tree information part) Getting Started user s Manual Page 3-7 Figure 7.

Most time and money needs to be spent on product development and setting up the sales channels. He knows that there are some legal requirements for the content of the manual and he wants a well designed and user-friendly instructional manual that contributes to a good customer experience. I decided to walk him through the entire process and developed an instruction manual template for him. Here’s what happened. The results are as follows: Although Philip used one of our paid templates, I have made a free template that you can use to achieve exactly the same results. There is only one difference. We have developed user manual templates for machinery, toys, medical devices and electronics that contain all legal content. I provided him with some general information about user instructions and with some good examples of existing user manuals. A good user manual assists users on how to use a product safely, healthily and effectively. A well-drafted user manual only provides that information that is relevant for the intended user of the product. A good user manual should answer HOW and WHAT questions. They should contain information about what happens if a task is not done correctly. Typical user types are the end-user, installer, maintenance engineer and operator. Each user type needs a different approach in terms of language to be used, the tone of voice and provided conceptual information. A product can be a system, tool, device, an instrument, a piece of software or an app. Depending on the type of product, a user manual might include things as: The template contains all the information and more from the list above. It complies with the requirements for his product. The user manual template is an MS Word document that can be printed or placed online. Each tool has its own advantages and disadvantages. I will mention the most common tools below: Through the following links you can download a user manual sample for documentation: Let’s dive into the details and actions. This can be done by creating a user profile, also named a persona. This is not only useful for creating your user instructions, but it is an essential element at the start of the development of any product. As an educated industrial design engineer, this is how we started all our design assignments. That’s why I asked Philip to define his users and answer questions like: What describes the user? I asked Philip to fill out the template. Please note that the second tab also contains Philip’s answers, so you have an example of how the sheet could be used. So if you want to take defining your user one step further, I would suggest you visualise your user in the form of a persona. When creating a persona you are giving your user a name, age et cetera, so it becomes a real person that represents your user. This is the result: Typical problems might include: installing the product, using the product, using the product safely, maintaining the product and disposing of the product. In order to do so, I created another template for Philip. In the left column of the Lifecycle tab, the stages of a product’s lifecycle are mentioned. These are derived from the international standard for user instructions, the IEC 82079. Our user manual templates are compliant with this standard. In other words: Philip has defined the topics for his user manual. Each topic can only be about one specific subject, has an identifiable purpose, and must be able to stand alone. A user wants to solve one problem at a time.It can be a chapter or a (sub-)paragraph. As soon as a user is looking for an answer to his problem, he will use the table of contents to find out how to navigate to that answer. Start numbering PREPARATION PRODUCT FOR USE with number 4. We will add some more chapters in the next step. The ToC is the outline of your user manual.The headings are the (sub-)titles that precede the actual text. They appear in the ToC, so the user can navigate to the needed information. A third-level heading uses noun-phrases (e.g. Packaging contents and Tools to be used ). The heading Making Pancakes is much more user-oriented than Using the MagicCook5000. If the section covers the maintenance and repair of a product, the heading Maintenance would be incomplete. Pro tip: when there is a Declaration of Conformity available already, you can find the applicable directives in there. If the product is too small this can be placed in the user manual. If the product is too small this can be placed in the user manual. Safety information shall be provided in order to inform the user of measures to be taken. This standard has been harmonised in the EU. Compliance with harmonised standards provides a presumption of conformity with the corresponding legislation! Without removing and mandatory elements of course. Notice! Do not adjust the Table of Contents. The table of contents can be updated automatically once you have adjusted the section headings. And once you have determined the intended use, you can focus on providing only those safety and user instructions for how to use the product within the given envelope. If the defectiveness of a product needs to be determined, all circumstances will be taken into account. That includes the reasonably foreseeable use of the product. For example, if a cooling system is only used for cooling certain medications, then only these procedures need to be described. When it could reasonably be foreseen that the cooling system may be used as a system to cool organs, this should be described in the instructions. By doing so, you, as the manufacturer, will limit your liability and you can focus on only describing how to use the system to cool medicines. A risk analysis can also be mandatory for certain product groups, such as low-voltage equipment, toys, machinery and equipment for use in explosive atmospheres. The ISO 12100 also gives a method for taking mitigation measures: the Three-Step Method. According to this method, there is the following hierarchy of risk-reducing measures: This is done with safety warnings. The ANSI Z535.6 standard describes the following locations in the user manual where this could be: General text general text general text. 3. Do this. This may also be describing special tools or space for maintenance and repair. These templates contain all legal texts, mandatory disposal information, copyright statements and comply with the IEC 82079 standard on user instructions. Finding the right information that solves the user’s problem should take as little time as possible. We call this version the textual content design. As Philip has a business partner and a developer with in-depth technical product knowledge, I asked Philip to let them review the work so far. Both his business partner and the developer provided feedback. Philip used this feedback to optimize the user manual. Action: Send the draft version of the user manual to anyone within your team who might be able to deliver feedback. Ask them to combine all feedback into one document before sending it back to you. This stimulates discussion of your team members and prevents disagreement at a later stage. This means that any images can now be created and added to the content. As images should support, replace, or augment text, you want to wait to create them until the texts are final. Often, photos are not as informative because they contain too much information. Besides that, photos can make a user manual look messy. The content needs to be put into the InDesign template. This is called Desktop Publishing. If you decided not to use the InDesign template but stuck to the Word file, then you can skip this step. This could be a translator who is experienced in translating technical content, with similar products or with translating user manuals. Alternatively, you can do this yourself, of course. That can be printed, or used online or on-device. However, as of April 2016, the instructions of many product groups may be delivered in a different format rather than in print. There is one exception, however. Besides that, upon request from a consumer, a paper user manual should be made available to the consumer. Here he can add videos as well. And by optimizing the HTML version for search engines he makes it easier for his user to find information for his user That’s how Philip created a compliant user manual with help from the User Manuals Template and the other available tools that I provided. We have developed user manual templates for machinery, toys, medical devices and electronics that contain all legal content. This includes users who either use the tool you’re writing a guide for or who encounter particular problems with your tool. On the one hand, you can aim to create a user guide for an average user, as a rule, for the one using your program for the first time. In this case, you need to use specific terms or explain them in detail for the user who doesn’t know a thing about your software yet. On the contrary, your user instruction manual can be designed especially for those who have already had experience using your software but still may encounter unexpected issues. For example, for those who have been using your program for a year but now do not know how to export a file in the updated version, you can use already established terms of your interface to create a user guide. Overall, you need to know how to create a how-to guide which will not only share knowledge but will also be presented in a smooth and coherent style and format. As usual, you can use a formal or semi-formal style of writing. Make an instruction manual template also easy to follow: make sure to structure and align the formatting of all elements, create sections and subsections, highlight essential issues, and use text formatting to emphasize the important parts. In this case, the user instruction manual will be easy to look through and find the needed information. In addition, do not forget to align your instruction manual template with the corporate branding approved in your organization. In other words, you should figure out how to make an instruction manual to achieve the aim of your user guide built for your target audience (see step 1). You need to define where the procedure or a set of procedures starts and finishes and what issues a user may encounter during its accomplishment. Undoubtedly, it will be great to discuss these questions with your actual users or consult use cases for this purpose. This way, you’re less likely to miss out an important part of the procedure you are writing about. It’s better to create a title page in a minimalistic style and not to spend too much time on creative design. Far more important is to provide all the necessary info on the title page so that everyone can tell this is an instruction manual, its scope, audience, mission, version, publication date, reference, author, and so on. Actually, the title should say everything about your user guide while all other text labels should just contain additional info pointing at its applicability and relevance to an issue a user is trying to tackle.You need to reference your user instruction manual to other user documentation so that your colleagues and customers know where to search for related information.In other cases, you should include a table of contents to make your user guide easier to research and follow. A thorough scan of a good table of contents shows readers where they can find answers to their questions and if the current user guide suits their needs at all. Frankly, this procedure is quite dull, and time and effort consuming. Fortunately, the latest special-purpose tools let you save your work time significantly. StepShot Guides, for example, saves you up to 90 of the time spent on documenting a procedure, isn’t it impressive. Instead of using several tools like screenshotting software, image editor, and word processor, you can use StepShot Guides combining the functions of all these tools. Otherwise, you should manually copy, paste, and edit each screenshot and text field into different apps. Luckily, the introduced all-in-one solution allows the creation of a 20 step guide in about 15 minutes instead of 150 minutes, that is 10x times faster. At this step, you’ll have a document with text including the description of each step and screenshots. If you’ve chosen an o?u?t?d?a?t?e?d? traditional way and use several apps, you need first to edit each screenshot in an image editor and then insert it into the doc. Then you need to type manually or copypaste the text. Afterward, you have to format your doc to make it look nice and easy to follow. So, now you can either leave screenshots as they are or use additional arrows, lines, shapes, text blocks, sequence numbering, blurring, or image cropping directly within the StepShot Guides. Make use of OCR technology to recognize the text on an image and paste it wherever you need. Owing to AI-powered features, the process of editing and improvement here requires much less time than a traditional approach. Think of the table of contents, heading formatting, font, colors, margins, graphic elements, line spacing, and so on. If you prefer a Word format, just download an existing instruction manual template, format the same three pages the way you like, and import it to StepShot Guides. Still, you can always use one of the available templates and simply omit the step of instruction manual template designing. If it has been created with a word processor, as a rule, you can export it to some text formats or PDF. The good news is StepShot Guides has A LOT of exporting and sharing options. Thus, you can export your user instructions manual to: I’ve already told you some features of this software that are useful in writing a user instruction manual and now I’d like to elaborate more on the process of user guide creation in StepShot Guides. After finishing the procedure, your guide opens in the app window and looks like a set of screenshots (taken on each mouse click or other clicks chosen beforehand) and step titles and descriptions, many of which are already recorded automatically by a Keylogger. Next, choose a format for export and make further editions to an instruction manual template you choose if you want. Define variables which will display repetitive data on your guides. If you choose to export to StepShot Cloud, you can further work on the guide in a private or public mode. Take advantage of numerous sharing options and send or embed your user manuals whenever needed. Correspondingly, people use MO Word as a traditional tool for creating any texts and documents. No wonder, many of us make use of this software once we think of how to write an instruction manual. Basically, the procedure of user guide creation looks like the following: create a title page, write a preface, describe each step, insert already edited screenshots, add other necessary text, and format the user instruction manual. This software manages templates and can save a doc as a PDF file, Open XML, XPS, RTF, OpenDocument, or a web page. It also shares Word files via email, publishes at a blog, or presents online. You can customize the capturing area so that it grabs either a whole screen or a certain region on it. There are a few editing instruments built-in, namely capturing timer, freestyle pen, highlighter, and eraser. But just imagine that you have to take 100 screenshots for a 100 step user instruction manual, what then. Does this Snipping Tool have sufficient functionality for screenshot enhancement. Even if yes, you have to take each screenshot manually, edit, save it, and insert into a doc. What’s more, an inbuilt image editor lacks functions, that’s why users have to use another software program to edit and improve screenshots. As for screenshots, which are usually used in user instruction manuals, you can crop them, add highlighting, add various arrows, shapes, numbers, text, and so on. This does require professional skills and a lot of time, effort, and patience. Such a guide can be converted to PDF or just saved for further editing. The former has been designed to take screenshots and has evolved to have bit wider functionality. It can capture screen or record video, create and edit images, and makes it possible to embed images and videos to your email, documents, blog, or social media. Similarly, you can get a link to share your materials created with Snagit with other people. Still, you can not create a document in this app, thus, if you want to know how to make an instruction manual with SnagIt, be sure to prepare other tool(s) like a word processor at least and copypaste a lot. If we talk about Google Docs, they have almost the same functionality as Microsoft Office Word but online. It’s a convenient web-based platform for creating and sharing documents, smart editing, and team collaboration. It allows inserting images and using templates to format a set of documents faster. In turn, Google Drive offers to store and share the files of any formats. The combo of these tools provides many opportunities for a user, however, they cannot capture screen or automatically record step descriptions. After a recent rebranding, the platform introduces itself as a workspace for team collaboration on any file format. Although it can become a great workspace for team members, I suppose it’s not suitable for those who search for how to write an instruction manual for users. As you can see in the full guide on how to make an instruction manual above, an important step in this process is referencing the user manual with other user documentation. But, how will you do that if you just have a folder with docs, at best, on the Cloud. You need to have a table with categorized lists of user guides and other relevant docs with appropriate referencing to make it simple to find all the information you need simply looking through the table. Alternatively, you can use specific tags and labels available within special purpose tools and platforms like StepShot Cloud. Take a look to see which tools have the features you need. Still, as you can see, the leader here is StepShot Guides since it has all the necessary features needed to make an instruction manual. This instruction manual template provided below has been created with StepShot Guides. Avoid too general utterances, repetitive statements, and redundant details. What would you need help with. What would you like to find in such a manual? Breaking down the process into smaller parts with headings and subheadings will make a manual much easier to comprehend. Also, keep wording and phrasing simply. Avoid jargon in your text. Of course, usefulness is its major aim, but do not forget it also “sells” your product. Consider cross-linking with other content like blog articles, avoid plagiarism, optimize SEO. Hope you liked it and found it useful! May your experience in creating a user instruction manual be pleasant and productive!

FIREMON Database User Manual The FIREMON database software consists of a Java application and a Microsoft Access database. The Java application provides the user interface with FIREMON data through data entry forms, data summary reports, and other data management tools. The Microsoft Access database contains the tables that store the actual FIREMON data and the standard lookup codes used in various FIREMON fields. Managing users is done via direct interaction with the database. This section addresses how to setup a database user source. The Database Authentication type requires you have a connection to an existing database, like SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL. It stores all users, roles, schedules, and and more in the database, and uses queries to check login credentials. When you create a database user source, you have the option of setting it up in Automatic or Manual mode. Automatic Mode In Automatic mode, Ignition will create and manage the database tables for you. You can specify a prefix for the tables that are created automatically for you, but their names after the prefix are chosen by the user source. In this mode, the user source will be fully manageable in Ignition. Manual Mode In Manual mode, you must provide SQL queries for various functions of the user source. In this mode, the user source will not be manageable from the Gateway or the Clients. You'll have to manage the users directly through the database. Examples for each of the queries are given on the user source setup page. Read each query description carefully to make sure you design your queries to return all the columns that are defined in the query's description as shown below. Property Reference Database User Sources have the following properties, organized by category Main Properties Details on the Main Properties can be found on the User Sources page. The Database User Source also has the following properties: Name Description Database The database connection this User Source will retrieve user information from. Mode How the gateway should manage the database tables. Has two settings: Automatic: The gateway will automatically create the database tables necessary, and all interactions with the table will use the built-in queries. When this option is set, the Tablename Prefix property is utilized. Manual: The gateway will not automatically create any database tables, nor will it automatically modify users or roles. When set to manual, it is assumed that you want to manually write the queries that update the tables, or are utilizing another system. When Mode is set to this option, the Manual Mode properties are used to determine how the gateway should query user data. Useful when multiple database User Sources are connected to the same database scheme. Manual Mode Name Description Authentication Query A query that must return a row if the given username and password combination provided is valid. The query will run as a prepared statement, so use the question mark character (?) to represent username first and then password. List Roles Query A query that returns all possible roles that any user could be a member of. The role names must be returned in the first column of the query's results. User's Roles Query A query that returns all of the roles that the provided user belongs to. The roles must be strings and must be in the first column of the query's results. The query will be run as a prepared statement with one parameter: the username. List Users Query A query that returns a row containing each username. There must be at least one column: the username. Contact Info Query A query that returns all of the contact info for the user. The first column must be the contact type, the second column the contact value. Optional, may be blank. Schedule Adjustment Query A query that returns the upcoming schedule adjustments for the user. This property is optional, and may be left blank. The results set expects the following columns: Start (date) End (date) Available (boolean) Note (string) Extra Properties Query A query that returns name, value pairs of extra properties for the user. Will be run with one parameter: the username. Optional, may be blank. Click the blue arrow, Create new User Source. Choose the Database authentication type, and click Next. The New User Source window will open. Some properties are optional, but if you're using Automatic mode, enter the following properties as appropriate. Name: DBAuth - name of the user source. Failover Source: default - failover user source ('default' is the internal user source). Failover Mode: Hard - if the source is unreachable, then use the failover source. (Can choose the Hard or Soft option). Database: MySQL - external database.
