Installation Instructions - US (Both Demo and Registered versions)
==================================================================

These instructions are to be used when installing IDG-Trade. (After downloading)

Thank you for your interest in IDG-Trade. We would like to offer some suggestions to help you 
install IDG-Trade.

1. If possible, accept the default installation settings except for when offered a choice of 
   the writing languages – select the US option (this if for spell checking)

2. If you need to change the destination drive to a drive other than the C drive, you will need 
   to change the ALIAS setting to point to the D drive (for example) instead of the C drive. This 
   is the only problem that will occur and it is easily rectified by following the instructions 
   on changing the destination drives in the help.

3. Once installed and the computer has been restarted, start IDG-Trade.

Press F1 in any IDG-Trade screen for help. This is highly recommended.

4. Change your Owner details. 
   o	From the Main Menu, press the Utilities Menu button, then the Owner Details button. 
   o	Enter your details. These will appear on all your reports.
   o	In the Company tab, the ABN and ACN fields are the Australian Business (and Company) Numbers 
        when we register our companies, and are printed on the reports. You can leave these blank. 
        If you legally need a number on you quotes, receipts, invoices, let us know what the name is, 
        its abbreviation, and the length of the field (give us an example). We may be able to do 
        something (no promises). 
   o	Press the Register button and enter your registration number. Press OK
   o	Press Exit when finished to leave the Owner Details form.

5. Next, go to the Defaults screen (also off the Utilities menu). Have a look through all the tabs 
   and change as required. (These values may already be showing)
   o	I would put your home town details in the Address tab. (Press F1 for help)
   o	In the Pay & GST tab, the GST refers to your tax. Change the Tax Name field to 'Tax'.
   o	If you have a logo, you can enter the name in the Preferences tab. BE SURE TO READ THE HELP 
        ON HOW TO DO THIS. (The image should be approx 4cm x 2cm). 
   o	Change your Tax Year in the Tax Year tab to the start of the US tax year (dd/mm)
   o	Press Exit when you have finished.

6. Next, press the GST Rates button (off the Utilities menu). This button name will change to the 
   name that you entered in the Defaults form the next time it is opened ('Tax' in this example)
   o	Change the Rate to the rate of Services tax that you must pay. You can change the date if 
        you wish. You may wish to change it to the beginning of this year. If you get a rate change, 
        add a new entry (i.e. you will then have 2 entries).
   o	Press Exit to close the GST Rates form
   o	Press Exit to close the Utilities

7. Now you can start. As a suggestion, you can leave customer 1 as the dummy that was installed. You 
   can play with this one to add quotes and jobs as much as you like "to see what happens". All dummy 
   details that you enter can be completely deleted by deleting the quote. (This can be done for any 
   customer). This removes EVERYTHING to do with the quote and job (e.g. quote text, invoices, 
   receipts etc.).

That's it. Please read the help and do the tutorial. If you get stuck, send an email to 
contact@idgtrade.com.

Take your time to get to know the product – it will help make your business more profitable.

Please do the tutorial.
