How To Use the 'Documents' Section
Customer Guide - How to use the ‘Documents’ section.
This guide is intended to help you get the best results from the 'Documents' section. There are over 2,300 documents within the database so you will want to limit the number of documents displayed. You do this by specifying what you are looking for. You specify by making choices in the options lists you will be presented with in the Documents section. So let’s begin.
To Begin
On the Home page of the website click ‘Documents’.
The screen below will appear:
(To return to the home page at any time click the record logo)
On the left hand side you will see a list of options for specifying your search. If you scroll down (using the scroll bar on the right hand side) you will see you can tailor your search with a whole list of criteria (17). These are as below:
- Document Type
- Product Line
- Product
- Solution
- Product Model
- Product Category
- Drawing Type
- Door Type
- Door Version
- Drive Height
- Door Glazing
- Side Panel
- Fanlight
- Brand
- Industrial sector
- Language
- Country
You can use as many or as few of these options as you like. By clicking on the magnifying glass in the option box you are presented with various selections you can choose from. However, it is best not to be too specific. Most documents can be found by making selections from the following four options only. These are:
- Document Type (choose your document type. For example, Brochure, Operating instructions, Data sheet, drawing, BIM etc)
- Product Line (Choose the type of door you are looking for information on. For example, sliding doors, swing doors, folding doors revolving doors)
- Product (Choose a product abbreviation code ie - DFA, STA, TSA etc, if known - if you don't know then don't worry - it's not essential)
- Language – choose English
Once you have made your choices click the ‘Search’ box with the magnifying glass (at the top of the list). Your documents will be displayed on the right hand side.
This is what you will see displayed along with any document
