VIEW Tips
If you already own a copy of VIEW, then some of these tips may be of benefit:
Adding "Teacher’s Notes".
Teacher’s notes are a hidden admin function that exists within the VIEW client software. They enable a teacher to leave a message for users to read on a specific node within VIEW.
To access the Teacher’s notes panel, the teacher needs to enter an assigned password at the relevant node they wish to leave a comment. To date two passwords have been used, as follows:
For VIEW:Retail (A VIEW of House of Fraser), or VIEW:Gatwick (A VIEW of Gatwick Airport), the relevant password is “countecpass”.
For all other VIEW applications the password should be “futurevupass” unless otherwise stated. You may refer to any documentation provided with the software or on our web site if you have any difficulty accessing this tool.
A teacher can then type a message and save, allowing users to see it when they come across that node. Messages are sector-specific, meaning that the message will only be visible when facing the right direction on a node.
Further admin tools are being developed, please check our web site for more information.
VIEW Multi-User Edition - split locations for database & file structure
It is possible to locate the database and content in separate folders allowing for increased security. This enables you to set READ, WRITE and CREATE permissions only to the database folder whilst keeping the VIEW file structure secure. Please refer to configuration instructions for this facility in your Installation & Setup Guide provided with VIEW MUE.
The South East England Development Agency has funded the construction of six VIEW applications. All six will be provided on CDs courtesy of SEEDA to schools in the South East of England free of charge.
Skillsmart, the Sector Skills Council for Retail has funded the construction of a VIEW of Retail CD based on House of Fraser, Oxford Street. The CD is available free of charge to all schools in the UK through their local Education Business Partnership.
