OverviewI-TECH has created a new web application called TrainSMART—Training System Monitoring and Reporting Tool. This guide provides user training of the new system.

TerminologyThere are many terms used throughout this document to describe various parts of the sites. They are defined below.

Main menu : How you navigate through the site. Clicking on an option on the main menu will display the drop-down menu underneath. Then you select the page you want to go to.

Drop-down box : Click on the down arrow to display your choices and then select from the list.

Disabled field : If the field is “grayed out” that means it cannot be used until something else is activated. In this case, you must pick a “Region” first, and then the “District” box will be activated.

Labels : In this application, some of the labels can be modified by country. For example, “Training Name” could be “Training Title” or “Region” could be “State.” See “Edit Country Options” for more details.

Type-ahead box : Typically these will be light blue. In this example, you start entering letters of a facility. Existing facilities with names containing the matching letters will display underneath the box. If the facility exists in the system already, select it from the list.

Buttons : are typically green and will perform a task, such as executing a search.
