The essentials - a set of Lessons

ideasguy:
Gosh Eric!! Many thanks once again - You've gone to a lot of trouble over this!

I'm afraid Ive misled you on this :(
Its when you display the pages after the initial introduction (p2, p3 etc) where Ive worked on trying to make them display without scrolling. They have actual IG Pro screenshots, in a step by step order to accomplish something.
How do they look?

Eric Hardy:
Sorry George, I misunderstood. Here is what "Adding a Plant (Method A) p2" looks like. I have tried some of the other pages and they look similar. Absolutely no scrolling required. I am glad I posted screen shots otherwise we might have been at cross purposes for some time  ::)



Is this what you meant?

ideasguy:
Yes, thats exactly it Eric.

The navigation links at the top are a bit cramped, but I wanted the user to be able to click and read step by step. Its easy to get lost if you have to move the mouse away from the p numbers (or the Next/Previous buttons in the actual screenshots)

Now then, lets hope the content makes sense :D

I want you to know that this challenge you titled ?Essentials? was a real wild ride for me. I got through it with some stumbles along the way, and some of the procedures we have been through with other projects and lessons. There?s quite a bit of helpful information for us IdeasGenie Pro users in this challenge! I?ve filed the printouts of it in my ?How To? binder along with previous challenges.

One area it did really help me on, was understanding GA100S23 ADDING A SPECIMEN.  The use of the Accession No. has always baffled me since I first was introduced to it. I could never quite see its purpose, along with the Batch Reference, and the rest of the items on that screen. Knowing that I can ?Change a Specimen in GA100S23?will be helpful, I?m sure.

Q - Does one have to be a member to access the RHS website information?  How much, in US money? I will have to check out AHS (American Horticulture Society) here in the US. I subscribe to their magazine ?American Gardener?, and am a member already.

In the challenge when you illustrate the use of GA100S33 SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR PHOTOS OF ANDROSACE (etc), (screenshot GA100S33-g2) I was able to pull up the same page as in your illustration from the East Lancashire AGS Show 2007.

It?s at http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/shows/reports/East+Lancashire+AGS+Show+/66

Interesting, huh?

I'm very pleased to welcome you back to the forum Toby.
Our members will have noticed that our regular from WA, USA was missing from the Whos on line list at the bottom of the forum page. I emailed Toby and after a few anxious days waiting I got a reply to say he had been floored by a very bad flu.
Heres wishing you a speedy recovery Toby!

Glad you "enjoyed" the challenge Toby:D and it looks like it all worked for you, right to the Androsace link :)
Plant collector, Botanical Garden and Botanist users of the software are familiar with Specimens and Accession numbers.
Gardeners are familiar with the term Specimen plant so Ive adopted those terms in IG Pro.

Initially I referred to Accession numbers as Garden References in IG Pro.
Users can invent their own system for assigning accession numbers and can think of them as Garden References to particular specimen plant in the garden.
Hopefully this Challenge will have explained things sufficiently so there are no ambiguities.

Not for the type of access required in that challenge Toby. For other sections,yes.
