11 2 Getting Started The following information will help you set up, launch, and navigate through the HEAT Administrator module: Setting Up Your System Launch Administrator Shortcut Keys Navigate Administrator

12 2-2 Getting Started Setting Up Your System The following process overview provides the basic steps for configuring your HEAT system. 1. Install HEAT. 2. Experiment with the Demo data in the Sample database. HEAT ships a Sample database containing all the tables, fields, forms, and grids you need to get started. In addition, HEAT also ships Demo data to help illustrate the ways in which issues can be logged and tracked using HEAT's numerous modules and features. 3. Develop a system plan. Answer the System Design Questions to help you organize and plan functions for your organization. You can then begin customizing your Starter database. 4. Create your Customer Types. A Customer Type identifies the people that you support. Customers can be internal employees or external clients. Note: The fewer Customer Types you define, the simpler your system is to configure and run. 5. Create your Call Types. Call Types should describe the major categories of problems handled by your organization. Keep the categories as general as possible to speed and simplify logging calls. 6. Create a Profile form for each Customer Type. The Profile table stores information specific to each customer that belongs to a Customer Type. You can create a different Profile form for each Customer Type. 7. Create a Profile Subset form for each Customer Type. The Profile Subset is an area at the top of the main Call Logging window containing selected information from the Profile table. 8. Link fields between the Profile table and the Profile Subset. When you link fields, information from the Profile table automatically fills portions of the Profile Subset. 9. Create a Configuration form for each Customer Type. The Config table contains information about each customer s hardware/software, etc. (based on Customer Type). You can create a different form for each Config table to reflect the different needs of each Customer Type. 10. Create Detail forms for each Call Type. Each Call Detail form contains information specific to one or more Call Types. You can create a different form for each Call Type. 11. Create links between Configuration tables and Call Detail forms. These links allow your system to fill call detail fields with information from the Configuration table using just a few keystrokes. 12. Customize the Assignment-Contact form. Add fields to this form so finding and contacting assignees is efficient. 13. Customize the Assignment tab form. Customize the layout of your Assignment tab form. 14. Commit field and form definitions. Commit your Edit Sets to the live system. HEAT
