Unibase by DMAC / Unibase Imaging
Tutorial Movies
DMAC provides these movie tutorials to enable a trainee
to go from knowing little about data entry to becoming a
master of the Unibase environment. The trainee learns
about Unibase by DMAC and Unibase Imaging in as simple of
a way as DMAC knows.
For the Graphical User Interface (GUI) Rick Tarbox begins
a new series in the summer of 2005. As each movie is
completed, the trainee can download it for study.
The remainder of the movies use the Menu User Interface
(MUI) rather than the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of
Unibase by DMAC. The trainee can take the knowledge
learned in the MUI environment and transfer it to the GUI
environment. Some movies eventually will specifically
address this knowledge transfer. One advantage of
learning in the MUI environment is that the choices are
limited at any point in the teaching screen and there is
only one way to accomplish a particular task. This is not
true in the GUI environment.
Some of these MUI tutorial movies are about five years
old and refer to Unibase by DMAC release 7.4i. The
information still applies to the Unibase Environment.
Enhancements may exist which are not discussed. Tina Kay,
the movie star of the MUI movies, chooses which movie to
produce next, so a particular movie may stay out of date
for a long time waiting for a replacement. Tina and Rick,
based upon feedback from users of the movies, address the
areas which they think will help the most people the
quickest in their limited time for creating movies.
These MUI
Movies run in your browser. If you have
some versions of Microsoft's Real Player or Media Player
you can play the QuickTime movie (.mov) files. If you
cannot play these movies in your browser right off,
Apple's QuickTime is available as part of Itunes and is
available at
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download. You can
install iTunes with its defaults and then play these
movies. No doubt there are other players available
also.
DMAC is
looking for feedback from users
of these movies. In particular, DMAC would like to know
which topics should be developed next. If you do not see
a topic you wish, please take a moment to contact DMAC
and let us know. In this way, everyone benefits from your
quest for answers.
