| Export Wizard exports data about names, consignors, items,
sale results, etc. to dBase file or csv file that can be used
with spreadsheet. Accessible from File>Export. |
| Transfer selected consignors from one sale to the newest
sale by selecting consignors and right-clicking in the Select
column. |
| Add multiple copies of same item by right-clicking on the
Add button on the Add Items form. Saves lots of time for
owners selling multiples of the same item. |
| Option to send consignor results by email. Formatting
may vary as viewed by consignors with different email programs. |
| New report of consignor numbers that have been used in
previous sales. Good way to identify numbers that have not
been used for several sales. |
| Mac users can enter data in a Google doc which can be
imported into TIM. Then tags can be printed to a PDF and
sent back to the consignor for printing. |
| |
|
April 2009 |
| Several new features help those using TIM for a tagging
service: |
| Send consignors a
Word or Excel
template to fill out with their items. Then "copy" the
items into TIM and print labels or send a PDF back to the
consignor to print their own labels. |
| Copy unsold items from one sale to the next sale by
right-clicking in the Tag column of the Items tab of the main
module. Find "Tag Column - Items Tab" in TIM help files. |
| Set the starting item number when adding a
new item for a consignor (right-click on the item number in
the Add New Items form). This makes it possible to avoid
duplication of item numbers from a previous sale for a
consignor. It also makes it possible for co-owners to use
two copies of TIM and enter items for the same consignor number. |
| Export items for a consignor from one copy of TIM,
send as email attachment, and import items into another copy of
TIM. This is the same as the export/import from TagIt or
TagItLite into TIM. This also makes it possible for
co-owners to work from separate copies of TIM. See the
Export and Import from File buttons on the Items tab of the main
form. |
| |
| Copying data so that it does not need to be re-keyed: |
| If people can sign up for your mailing list through your
website, most likely you receive an email from your website.
You can probably set up TIM so that you can highlight the name
and address information on the email and copy it into TIM's Name
module. Press F1 for Help and find "Copying Names from
Clipboard" for more information. |
| Use Word or
Excel templates with consignors. |
| |
| Domain names are now memorized when entering email
addresses for names. A single keystroke might enter
yahoo.com or hotmail.com. |
| |
| New barcode reports analyze the number of tags where
barcodes were successfully scanned by consignor. Use these
reports to improve barcode usage and scanning at your next sale.
Look up "Barcodes" in TIM help files.
Tips for increasing
barcode usage. |
| |
| Would it be helpful to have a list of checks when
preparing a deposit? Look up "Deposit Checks" in TIM
help files. |
| |
| If you use the Schedule/Task Manager module, you may be able
to generate web pages that list the volunteer openings.
You may be able to cut and paste the information into your
website and update it as openings are filled. See "Create
Web Pages..." in TIM help files. |
