TUTORIAL #1

Maintaining and Running Your Inventory System

Step 1

Access the main screen for Equipment Search (www.equipmentsearch.com).

In the bottom left hand of the screen you will see a category in the information section called "Members Only". Single click it with your mouse.

Step 2: Secure Administration Access

Type your "Username" and "Password" supplied to you by Equipment Search and click on the "Login" button.

Step 3: Editing Tools

Up will come the "Editing Tools" screen, which will give you several options in maintaining your online inventory and contact information etc.. The main categories are as follows:

User Preferences- This allows you to change information such as you address, company description, directions, contacts and relevant phone numbers.

Create Ads- Allows you to create , ad images etc. for your own dealerships inventory.

Edit Ads- Allows you to change or delete any ads you have on the system. If you have no ads on the system, this option will not appear.

Add Association Link- In "add association link" this option will allow you to add perhaps your club or associations direct link. It will go into a pending que and once reviewed by the office it will be activated. Equipment Search reserves the final approval on any links based on our judgement as the final decision.

Step 4: Creating Ads

Click on create ads. Under the "Ad Editor" based on the categories pre-selected when you signed up to be a new dealer choose the type of ad you want to create by using your mouse to click on the downward arrow. Highlight the category and then press next. Complete the same process each time.

The next screen is the actual ad that will be displayed. Fill in the "Manufacturer", "Model" and "Engine Manufacturer" by using the arrows to highlight the category or type it in the "Other" box supplied directly beside the above noted options (if your companies manufacturer is not represented ) Then add the "Quantity", "Year" and "Price" without using and commas, dollar signs etc…

Fill in the balance of the fields that are given to help best describe your product being sold.

In the comment box supplied, type in what best describes your product to the customer such as specifications, conditions etc… Remember this section is what grabs the customers attention!

Once you have filled out the screen press the save button at the bottom.

Step 5: Adding Your Picture

Once you have saved your ad, a screen will appear asking if you have pictures you want to insert into the ad you have just created. Assuming the pictures are stored on your computer press the browse button and go find the file on your system where the pictures are. Single click on the appropriate picture, then repeat this for all of the other images that are being added to the listing. Then select the upload button at the bottom , then the system will grab all of the images, format them and resize them to fit into the ad. This may take a few seconds so be patient.

Next - up will come all of the pictures you have selected on the screen as a preview. If these are the picture's you want for your ad press save, if not then click "Browse" from this screen and select another picture. Then press "Try Again" and the system will once again Grab it, format it, and resize it to fit into the ad. Now that you have the correct photos in the preview, press save and the system will insert the picture into the ad and upload it onto the system immediately.

Important to note: If you do not have a picture saved on the system, you can go back later and edit your ad to insert the picture.

Step 6: Editing and Deleting Your Ads

Log into your "Editing Tools" section(only if you are logged out). This is the section right after you have logged in. Click on the "Edit Ad" link, and up will come all the ads you have on your web page. Choose the ad you wish to edit or delete by clicking the link for the ad. Push the delete button to erase the ad or edit if you need to change any of the categories. If you choose to edit an ad then fill out the changes needed or change the picture if required. Remember that if you created an ad without a picture you can now insert it using the ad editor. Go to where it states add photo or change photo and press the button. Follow the on screen instructions as noted in "Step 5: Adding Your Picture".
