Hunter
Fan Company Employees:
Hunter M.I.S. is
pleased to announce the availability of certain self-paced video
and computer based training courses. These courses are designed so that a user can
learn at their own pace, without a formal 'classroom' type teacher. A room next
to the Marketing conference room has been set aside for this purpose, and it is
equipped with a video player and personal computer.
Priscilla Jones
will be available to help you get started by demonstrating how to use the
training equipment. Priscilla will make special effort to be available during
Monday through Friday of next week (Monday of April 19), from 10am - 11:30am
and from 2am - 4pm. She can also assist any user needing equipment help on an
'as needed' basis after that initial week.
M.I.S. will keep a
log of the training room usage, so that supervisors may track employee
training.
As of Monday, April
19, the following will be available:

In order to take advantage of
this training, the trainee should:
1) Obtain
permission from your supervisor, then call x2277 to arrange a time to use the
training room. (First come, first served.)
2) Pick up and sign
for the training media by visiting the computer room.
3) Return training materials
when finished. You are responsible for their timely return.
Specific instructions for using the computer based
training:
A) Enter your
normal network network (email) logon and password in order to sign on to the
training computer.
B) For any
'ViaGraphix' CD ROM course:
1) Insert the CD,
and wait for the program to start automatically.
2) Double mouse
click on the 'Chapter'.
3) Single click on
the topic, then click the 'Play'.
Once inside the
program, you can use the radio buttons on the bottom right of the screen to
control the program (pause, play, stop, etc.)
C)
For any JDE course:
1) Double click the
JDE Training icon that appears on the initial PC menu.
2) At the 'Teacher'
log on screen, enter 'JDE' as the user name, and 'JDE' as the password.

c) Click 'Teacher
Overview'.
d) Click

Important note #1
The display screens
are presented in 'graphical' mode, not 'green screen' mode as we have here at
Hunter. That means you will see a lot more boxes and the system will appear to
be different. However, the functions are the same, you just need to 'point and
click' to move through the tutorial rather than pressing the 'ENTER' key.
Whenever you see a gray background, imagine a green screen.
Important note #2
This tutorial is based
on the JDE version without custom modifications. That means that the screens
and procedures are as JDE originally designed them, and as such they may differ
slightly from the screens used at Hunter Fan. The procedures necessary to
accomplish a given task may also be different, so please be sure to consult
your supervisor if you have any questions as to the 'right way to do things'.
D) For the video
tape courses:
1) Turn on the
power for the monitor and tape player.
2) Insert tape.
(It's the same as your VCR at home.)
