8. This will bring up a list of available WiFi networks. It is VERY helpful to have WiFi at home, although you can connect at places such as McDonald’s and Starbucks.
9. Click onto your network. There have been problems using a secure network to connect, so if you do use an unsecure network, realize any personal information can be accessed by others.
13. A screen asking for your user name and password will appear.
14. In order to type your numbers, click onto the little box. This will pull up a keyboard.
15. However, you can choose to write instead of type. To do this, click on the top icon of the keyboard. The writing pad will pop up. This allows you to write responses.
16. Once your numbers are entered, hit connect. A box will appear informing you it is connecting.
17. Once connected, your calls will appear. The left column is the list of stores in which you have calls.
18. The middle column shows the date the calls are due. The right column shows exactly what calls are in the highlighted store.
19. We will go into the exact details of a call report in our face-to-face training. Before we can train, though, we will need to also download our DMS.
20. Our DMS, or Document Management System, stores needed call information such as POGs (Plan-o-grams), SVIs (Store Visit Instructions), return information, and much more. It is a great tool for the reps out in the field and saves time and money as we no longer have to print this information and bring it with us to the store.
21. Once exited out of the DDC, click onto Impact Document Management.
23. Enter the needed information and press connect. It will start downloading.
24. WARNING! Your initial download of the DMS will take 2-3 hours. Ensure you are using your wall charger while downloading because if your battery dies (and it probably will) your progress will be lost. It is also a good idea to be on a wireless home network as often times, public WiFi does not work the best with our system. After the initial download, DMS download times are usually cut to 20-30 min a week.
25. Once downloaded, click on the Impact link. Your IFL (Impact Focus List) and Project Information will show up.
26. When project info is clicked, the information for every call within Impact is shown.
27. Success!! You have downloaded the necessary information to complete your face-to-face training calls! This concludes your tablet tutorial and I look forward to training you soon!
