Website Implementation |
With your account established and your registration completed, you are now ready to use Visual Planner and even add it to your website so that your customers can utilize it.
Following is a brief overview of how to access and/or add Visual Planner to your website. When reviewing this information, please keep in mind that Visual Planner is a 100% web-based, hosted application with no installation or maintenance required on your end.
Launching Visual Planner is just like clicking on a link in order to launch a website. As a registered user, you already have all the information needed to start using the system and even give others access to it.
You (the administrator) and your registered users (staff members) can always access Visual Planner by simply using the link provided to you after your registration. The link you received is similar to this example: http://www.visual-planner.com/CUSTOMSHOPPE/index.php?d_id=1
Note: Always use the unique link you received from the system as it contains your company's ID number and ensures that your company's contact information is displayed inside the system as well as any inquiries are submitted to your administrative contact.
We highly recommend that you save a copy of your registration confirmation email and bookmark the Visual Planner link for your company for easy future access.
For your convenience, a copy of this link is always available under your account login by visiting http://www.visual-planner.com/CUSTOMSHOPPE/dealer-signup/ and logging in with your email address and password.
As mentioned above, Visual Planner is a hosted application making it extremely simple to implement into any website regardless of the site's specifications.
As with any changes or additions to your website, you will need to work with your webmaster to initiate the process. The following is simply an overview to give you an idea how this is usually done. Additionally, for your convenience, we have also included a number of screenshots from the system along with sample buttons you can use on your site.
To add Visual Planner to your site simply discuss and select a location within your site and ask the person in charge of your website to insert a link using any of the sample codes below. As with any other link on your site, you have a choice between launching this link in a new window or using a "pop-up".
Please discuss the pros and cons with your webmaster before making a decision.
