- CEC Systems ITS Readme.txt File 17/10/97
-
- This file will explain the procedure for
- installing ITS software and some of the
- system messages you will encounter.
-
- Before installing ITS make sure you are
- running Windows 95 and have an installed
- browser with the ability to run JAVA and
- JavaScript. Make sure you have home pages
- supplied by your ISP. ITS now gives you
- an opportunity to make good use of this
- space.
-
- On first time installation the software
- may install updated files compatible
- with Visual Basic Version 5 and will
- ask you to reboot your computer and
- continue to run setup again. This is
- normal for an update files procedure.
- If you have already done this you are
- given a chance to read this file
- again once the program starts.
-
- There are a few things you should
- have ready before running the
- program for the first time.
-
- Before entering the standard details
- section of the program be ready with
- the following:
-
- 1 Your company or personal name this
- will be shown to your customers
- when viewing your site.
-
- 2 Your email address this is used
- to email back to you the responses
- and orders from your customers.
-
- 3 A company or personal logo to be
- used as the company name this has
- to be 75 pixels height x 125 pixels
- wide if your image is bigger than
- this it will be shrunk if it is
- smaller it will be expanded. If you
- need an exactly proportioned
- representation of your logo be
- aware that it will be fitted into
- the 75 x 125 pixel size.
-
-
- 4 Your ISP must be able to provide
- you with a cgi script which will
- allow you to receive the contents
- of a html form see tutorial for
- more details and an example. This
- part is required so that when your
- customers place orders the order is
- then received by you in the form of
- an email.
-
-
-
- Once you have entered these details
- in the standard details you are now
- ready to use the program. Before you
- use the program you need to have an
- understanding of the program model
- and how ITS works. We strongly advise
- that you read the tutorial or at
- least look at some existing sites to
- see how the information is arranged
- and how the customer uses it. For
- existing site information go to
- http://www.marketingsense.co.uk
-
- If you build a confusing site then
- your customers will surf on out.
- If you really don't want to read
- the tutorial then the model can be
- explained thus:
-
-
- ITS software is designed for the
- promotion of your business on
- the Internet via interactive client
- scripted web pages with full
- graphical and text
- descriptions viewed on your
- customers PC. ITS does not require
- knowledge of JAVA or Java
- Script as you will never
- leave the comfort of the
- ITS program but have the
- power of these technologies
- on your site. ITS will
- enable you to organise these
- goods and services and other
- information in a logical manner
- which will be easy for your
- customers to peruse without
- any new learned skills.
- Categories are first created
- to hold a number of items
- descriptions of these categories
- cover the items contained within
- the category. Items and their
- individual description by picture,
- sound, video, text and price
- are contained within the category.
-
- ITS will give you
- the ability to make foreign
- language sites with different
- tax and freight rates and
- will allow you to make global
- changes to your products pricing
- from your desktop PC. You need
- home pages supplied by your
- ISP with enough space to host
- your site. ITS has optional
- dual currency display with prices
- adjusted easily by change of a
- conversion factor. ITS can
- incorporate previous artwork done
- for the Internet by using
- existing html pages. ITS uses a
- shopping trolley model. ITS is
- cost effective for your business.
