Tutorial Modules

Skyware Systems offers on-line tutorial modules as part of our guidance and training support tools. Our tutorial modules are designed as slide presentations, where you can move forwards and back through the presentation as you wish. Each slide has the screen split between an image (on the left) and a description (on the right). Some tutorial modules may have question and answer sections for you to complete built into them, others are information only. Tutorial modules are designed to walk you through, step by step, a process (such as the Night Audit procedure, generating a Quick Quote or making Quick sale), so often will cover more information than is found in one individual Help File Topic.

Skyware's tutorial modules are accessed using the Skyware Training Main Menu screen, which shows a list of all currently available tutorial modules for Skyware.

Note: This list is always expanding, so feel free to visit often, and if you have a suggestion for a module you would like to see, please contact us with you ideas.

 

 

To open the Skyware Training Main Menu, simply click on the training icon or word in the Action Bar.

By default the Skyware Training Main Menu screen when opened shows the Tutorial Modules available.

Selecting any of the listed Tutorial Module titles will open the module in the current tab.

Tutorial example

Move through the module screens using the forward and back buttons in the black bar at the bottom of the screen. The number of screens within the module, and which screen you are currently viewing, will be shown at all times.

The selected module opens WITHIN Skyware, meaning that at any point the main system may be returned to easily using the breadcrumb links in the top right of the screen.

The Skyware Training Main Menu showing the list of available tutorial modules may also be RETURNED to at any point when viewing a module by clicking the LEFT black bar labeled "Training" at the top of the presentation.

This means any progress you have made through the current tutorial module will be lost, but can however be useful if the subject of the tutorial that you have opened is not what you expected or wished to view, allowing you to select and open a different one.

 

Note: Clicking in the MIDDLE black bar at the top of the screen called "Videos" will open the video selection screen, where our Skyware Training Videos are located. These videos are IN-DEPTH walk throughs of various procedures, where you will be shown what to do and how to do it to complete various tasks. Again, clicking this button will remove you from the tutorial screen to open the video selection screen. However this button can be useful if you decide that you need more information than the tutorial module is giving you, and have the time to view the in-depth descriptive video.

 

Clicking in the RIGHT hand black bar at the top of the module called "Help" will open the Help File Topic specific to each slide in the tutorial module with the relevant Help Topic opening IN A NEW TAB, meaning that you may have the tutorial module open at the same time as the Help File (just as with your regular Skyware screens).
