Training Resources

Training

 

If you don’t believe in training, have no time to learn the basics, or can’t wait for directions, then watch “Creating Your First Intelligent Form,” which is a TLC 1 Basic training video. In 25 minutes it will achieve two goals: get you well-started building working smart forms; and second, we hope, convince you that training isn’t so bad. We can pretty much guarantee the first achievement. The second will be up to you. 

The entire Knowledge Base, of which the formal courses are but one department, is searchable for hundreds of keywords across more than 600 subject-specific articles and videos. Give it a try!

There are several other approaches available as well. One or more will fit every learning preference.

 

Software Downloads

The product download packages each contain at least four different training manuals, ranging from one page to hundreds and everything in between. If it’s been awhile since your purchase, just download a fresh package and tuck the PDFs into your library.

Each program download package contains a number of resources, typically:

A Read Me text that is well worth the 15 seconds needed to read it

A 3-4 page heavily illustrated Installation Guide for when you flub the installation and decide to read the directions

A one-page Cheat Sheet for people who don’t need or appreciate instructions

A heavily illustrated Quick Study Guide, typically 20 pages or so, that illustrates how to do nearly everything your new program can do. This one will take less than 10 minutes. Please read it!

Finally, the appropriately named Expert User Guide

A library of our guides is maintained in the Resources section of the online Knowledge Base.
