TRAINING EQUIPMENT MANAGER

  Back

DESCRIPTION:

Use the training equipment manager to create and manage a list of equipment.  To view and manage a large number of items, information is organized in a tree view.  Each category is represented by a folder and each piece of equipment is shown as a bulleted item.  Folders can hold an unlimited number of equipment items and sub-folders. 

This tool is divided into two parts.  Equipment and folders are shown in the top half of the screen and details about each item are shown in the tabbed panels below.  When you first install Weightmania, the training equipment manager is pre-initialized with a list of general categories.  These folders are initially empty.  You can use them to organize your equipment or delete them altogether.  Any object can be renamed and any object can be deleted except the root folder.  Folders and equipment items can also be cut, copied and pasted to other folders in the same tree.  Right-click (on a Mac, press the mouse button while holding the Control key) directly on the tree to view a popup menu with special options.  

Use the buttons below to create, add, modify and delete equipment and folders.  To begin, select "New Folder" or "New Item".  This adds a new object to the folder selected above.  Click once on the new item to modify it.  This copies all of the information about the selected object to the fields below.  Every object requires a name, but all other fields are optional.  Names do not have be unique (multiple folders and equipment items can share the same name).  When you are finished editing an item, select "Modify" to add your changes to the tree above.  If an item has been modified correctly, all of the tab fields will clear.

In the training equipment manager, there are two tabbed panes labeled "Description" and "Photos".  These tabs are described below.  Note:  To increase viewable space, adjust the divider (the gray separator that divides the top half of the window from the bottom half) up or down with the mouse.

BUTTONS:

New Item Creates a new equipment item and adds it to folder selected above.  By default, this item is labeled, "New Item".  Use the fields below to change the name and add detailed information.  A name is required, but all other fields are optional.  When you are finished entering information, select "Modify".
New Folder Creates a new equipment folder and adds it to folder selected above.  By default, this item is labeled, "New Folder".  Use the "Name" field below to change the folder name.  This is the only required field.  All other fields and tabs will be disabled.  When you are finished entering information, select "Modify".
Modify Modifies the object currently selected using information from the tabbed panes above.  You can modify equipment items and folders.  When an object has been modified correctly, all of the tab fields will clear and turn gray.
Delete Removes the selected object.  You can delete any object except the root folder.  Deleting a folder automatically deletes all of the child objects in that folder. 
Print Item Prints details of the selected equipment.
Print List Prints a list of all equipment.

DESCRIPTION TAB:

This tab stores basic information about each equipment item.  Note:  You must enter a name, but all other fields on this and other tabs are optional.

Name Specifies the name of this folder or equipment item.  Although it is recommended, names do not have be unique (multiple folders and equipment items can share the same name). 
Initial Use Date Specifies the date this equipment was first used.  By default, these fields are initialized to the date the item was created in the tree.
Notes Specifies notes related this item.  For example, this space can be use to describe the condition of the item or cost.
PHOTOS TAB:

This tab stores digital photographs.  The field on this tab is optional.  To increase viewable space, adjust the divider (the gray separator that divides the top half of the window from the bottom half) up or down with the mouse.

Right-click (on a Mac, press the mouse button while holding the Control key) directly on the display area to add new images.  By default, images are added from left to right and shown in reduced size.  Right-click on any image to change its attributes.  You can add text labels, arrange, rotate, resize and print any image.  Weightmania supports most popular image formats including JPG (JPEG), GIF and PNG.  Images are stored in their original size and format to preserve the original quality.   

Notes:

1. Weightmania stores copies of each image and does not reference or modify original files. 
2. The number of images that can be stored per day is based on available memory and other system resources.
