How to Start the Registration Process
If you are reviewing this section, you must have completed your training session in which case a Visual Planner Account has been established for your organization. As the Administrative Contact, you automatically receive an "Initiation Email" (see an example here) with the required information to start the registration process.
The Visual Planner Registration is
a one-time process consisting of 2 short steps:
-
Enter Dealership Information
In this step, you are asked to enter the contact information for your business. Simply follow the instructions in the email and on each page to proceed:
- Access the Visual Planner Dealer Registration
website using the link provided in the email: http://www.visual-planner.com/CUSTOMSHOPPE/dealer-signup/
- Enter (or copy & paste) your DEALER REGISTRATION CODE from the email into the appropriate field and click Enter to continue:
- Carefully read the legal notice on the following page and press 'I AGREE' if you like to proceed:
- Enter the requested information for your dealership. This information is displayed in Visual Planner (including on print-outs of 2D/3D and Quote) and allows you to customize the system with your specific contact information.
|
|
- Dealership.
Name of dealership previously entered by Animated Vision. |
| - Level
#. This number refers to your price display options
in the system and is always confirmed with you during your training
session. Note: Prices in the system should match your printed
catalog. Please contact Animated Vision with any questions in
this regard. |
| -
Price Shown: Y (yes) or N (no). This
is another Price Display related option automatically selected
by the system based on your catalog prices. |
| - Address
(city, state, zip) & Phone
Number. Enter the appropriate information for your
dealership in the fields provided. |
| - Dealer
website. Provide dealership website address, if
available (not required). |
| - Upload
dealer logo. This is another part of your ability
to customize the interface with your company's material. Note:
Leave this field empty if you do not have access to your logo
at this time. You can always come back and upload it in the future. |
| Click 'BROWSE'
and find the appropriate image for your dealership logo. (The
file must be in a JPEG (.jpg) format and must confirm to 100 pixels
(length) and 50 pixels (height)). Click 'UPCUSTOMSHOPPETE'
to continue. |
| |
- On the following page, confirm that all information entered for your
dealership is accurate. Choose 'EDIT'
to go back and modify your information or 'NEXT' to complete this part
of the registration process.
-
- With your company's contact information successfully entered, you will
now complete your own registration as the Administrative Contact by entering
the following information:
|
|
- First
Name / Last Name
- Email. Previously entered
by Animated Vision and cannot be modified.
- Password. This password
is the only one you will need in the future. The combination of
your email address and this password will allow you to both, return
to the Administration Page AND access Visual Planner to layout
offices.
|
- Upon completion, click 'Update'
to continue.
- On the following page, please confirm that all information entered is accurate. Choose 'EDIT' to go back and modify your information or 'NEXT' to complete your registration.
- A confirmation page will indicate your successful registration. Click the 'NEXT' button to complete the process.
NOTE: At this point, a confirmation email (see
an example here) is automatically sent to your email address. You
can use this email to allow additional employees to register for their own
accounts.
With your registration completed, you can now proceed to an Administration
Page for your reference. You can always return to this site using the same Registration
Link as used above: http://www.visual-planner.com/CUSTOMSHOPPE/dealer-signup/
However, please note that you will need to use your email address and newly
selected password to re-enter this site. The Dealership Registration code is
no longer valid.

The Dealership Registration Code
I received does not seem to work when I try to return to the Administration
Page. What am I doing wrong?

your registration process. Simply use your own password in combination with
your email address to login to the Administration Page.

Now that my company is registered,
how do we implement Visual Planner into our website so that our customers
