16.How the customer use "Club Manager" - the following instructions explains how it works:
It will be very clever to  print the following  instructions and stick them on the monitor
of every PC  - that will ease the personnel and  customers. (Translate them on your language)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    participate in client classification)
  2.Double click on the desired application(icon)
  3.When you complete your work close all programs and click on "LOG OFF" button.
    Thank You
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - the bill will appear

NOTE: There is much rough metod to tax your customers - for  example:
A client comes with 0.76 cents or any type of currency
Take his money, mark the desired PC on the map of Club Server > click on SET LIMIT 
mark "Money Limit" and enter 0.76 > click on "QUICK LOG" > the client should sit
on the PC and play or surf - he will  be terminated when his time ends or when his bill
excedes 0.76 cents.

NOTE: Termination of applications - its optional, you can choose wheather the PC 
will terminate the user by clicking on SETTINGS > check "AUTO TERMINATE"

NOTE: Check also "Lock PC" if you do not wish a user to be  able to sit and directly  start
an application  > usually required  for  a bigger clubs 20+ PC's

NOTE: TO ACTIVATE PROTECTION OVER THE PC - from START > SETTINGS > SETUP ,check all Hard
Drives as "hidden" ,return to main window & reboot!

17.Making an enquiry
When the day ends and the income  is collected you will  need to know how much  money
your operators must give you. It's easy just goto Club Server > GLOBAL CONTROL > 
MAKE ENQUIRY  > select the period - from date to date or only for today - select
type of enquiry: full, rating  clients, rating applications, income
Choose "full", click on  "MAKE ENQUIRY" > choose filter and select operators only
that will show you the money for the  whole club for the whole day(by the moment)
and  it  will show how much money every operator must give you.

NOTE: Adding operators:  (its required usually for bigger clubs and clubs that work 
"non-stop")(operatos has poor access to program  settings)

Operators must be added on  every "Club  Server" & "Club Manger" separately
just goto SETTINGS > "add operators" type name and it will be added. The  operators 
password are the same like their names, but that can be changed - 

When an operator enters "Club Server" he selects his name, and types his pass  i.e.
the same, then  he clicks on "CLUB MENU" > "CHANGE PASSWORD" and enters his new password.

When an operator enters "Club Manager" he clicks on START > CHANGE PASSWORD
and enters his new password.

From that time on, every operator must select his name when he comes on work by
clicking on "CLUB SERVER" > "SERVER MENU" > CHANGE OPERATOR >  select his name &
types his pass.When a  client ends his work and the bill appear it will appear either
on 'Club Server" and "Club  Manager". Operator can  free PC  directly from server or
form Club Manager.

CLUB MANAGER also  can be  controlled and it can work authonomously so when a client
ends  his work the PC should be fred by clicking on "PAY BILL" and enter operator pass.

NOTE: Make sure your  operators dont give  their passwords to other operators or 
clients  - that would make a mess

18. Other functions in Club Server & Club Manager.

Club Server has the ability to control all the PC's in the hall

transfer person to  other  PC or  just free the  PC)

do it once a  week when noone is "logged" and the hall is empty!
"settings" - settings  can be applied on all the PC's directly from server BUT - do it 
only when the hall is empty and noone is logged. Some  type of  configurations cannot
be applied when the Club Managers are in use.

PC and  press "restore display" - that will return the previous(normal) resolution.

"recconect all" - "refresh" all the  PC's in the hall - do not press it too often!!!

Club Manager:

"START UP" - allows you to choose which  aplications will be started when the  PC power up.

"taskbar".  "Taskbar"  is very usefull thing  when  your  customers use  ICQ, ODIGO,

again. The normal "taskbar"+Club Manager will  appear.
