Cohousing-L Mailing List: common meal software demo

[Ken Lewis (kenlewisjr]

Hi everyone,

So, here's the link to the demo:

http://www.stikineriverrat.com/mealtrakdemo/

INTRO:

All of the data in the demo is from real data from my community. The names
have been changed to protect the innocent, etc. Feel free to add, edit,
delete to your heart's content since now it's just demo data.

LOGGING IN:

For logging in, I'll start by giving you a handful of names here. However,
as you'll see below you can log in with any first name that's in the demo.

Davies, Zena
Doe, Jane
Doe, John
Eller, Wilma
Eller, George
Pendergast, Luke

User Name: simply use the first name (e.g., jane)
Password: demo (same for all users)

TIPS:

   - There's a legend below the calendar. Use this to understand the colors
and symbols used in the calendar.
   - The Working Assumptions link (also below the calendar) is helpful.

REPORTS:

The most important report is Cumulative Balances below the Log Out button.
This is where you can track where each household stands in terms of their
balance. Negative numbers mean that a household owes money.

LOCKING MEALS:

Locking a meal is how credits and debits are applied to cooks and diners,
respectively. You can lock a meal once it is in the past. Click on any of
the past meals in August to see how this works. Note: there's a button on
the cook costs screen that allows you to change the sign up sheet. This is
helpful for last minute changes and signups.

TIME TO STOP TYPING:

Ok, that's enough from me for now. Let me know f you have any questions!

Ken
