Overview |
Architecture
(3 min) : This
demo presents the data and information flow within Q++
and the internal relationships between the parts of Q++. |
|
Workspace
(7 min) : An
overview of Q++, exploring its user interface, from
which a user has access to all elements of diary
typesetting. |
|
User
Assistance
(3 min) : Q++ is
an intuitive and user-friendly tool which pampers its
users. This demo covers all the help and assistance
tools at the user's disposal. |
|
Layouts and
Diaries |
Creating a Layout
(6 min) : This
demo shows how to replace variable elements of a diary
grid by tokens representing dates, moons, ... and then
import this grid into Q++. |
|
Creating and Generating a Diary
(5 min) : This
demo shows how one creates a diary script in Q++, which
is then used to generate a complete diary output file.
The emphasis of this demo is on the re-use of existing
grids and data, which is the usual way one works in Q++.
It seems too easy to be true ... but it is ! |
|
Diary Scripts from A-Z
(11 min) : This
demo covers all the diary script lines and their
properties. This encyclopedic treatment does not attempt
to show Q++ as it is used normally (quickly and easily),
but shows all possibilities. |
|
Data
Management |
Managing Holidays
(11 min) : This
demo presents the way Q++ manages holidays and holidays
sets, and their recurrence rules, automatically
generating holidays dates for any year. |
|
Validating Holidays
(4 min) : This
demo presents the tools available to proof holidays, and
their recurrence rules, by exporting them to MS-Excel
format so that co-workers in other departments can share
them to review and/or proof-read. |
|
Languages and Translations
(6 min) : This
demo show how languages and translations are handled in
Q++ Studio. Examples cover languages which are
subsets of one another, displaying languages whose
character sets are not available on your keyboard (Greek,
Polish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, ...) and the creation
and modification of languages and tokens. |
|
Output
Customization |
Displaying Holidays
(7 min) : This demo shows
how properties of a script can be used to display
holidays in a variety of ways, be it for a single day or
a range of dates. |
|
Slogans and Repeating Logos
(6 min) : This demo shows
the creation and use of lists of repeating slogans (quote
of the day) and logos in Q++ Studio. |
|
Mini-Calendars
(6 min) : Q++ lets
you fully customize the contents of mini-calendars,
while their look and feel is freely set within
QuarkXPress. This demo shows the various options available
along with sample output. |
|
Displaying Moon Phases
(2 min) : This demo
presents the options available for displaying moon
phases related information, over one or more days,
within diaries. |
|
SARAs
(6 min) : SARAs
are used to automate, and include in the business rules,
the last minute modifications which are always necessary
in any diary. These can be specific changes to shorten a
holiday name, or a global typographical change. This
demo presents SARAs and their use in Q++ Studio. |
|
Macros
(4 min) : This
demo first presents the ways in which macros can be used
to automate even the most complex diaries. Then the demo
shows how, ready made macros can be used by any user
without any programming experience (nor inclination). |
|
Administration
Tools |
Web Tools
(3 min) : Q++ is
highly integrated with the Web and Internet in general.
This demo covers, email technical support, the web
discussion group, web site downloads, and even automated
update-from-the web functionality. |
|
Backup and Security
(2 min) : This
demo presents the data backup, mirroring and security
features of Q++ Studio. Automated remote notification of
problems to Q++'s technical support is also covered. |
|
Restoring Backups
(2 min) : This
demo presents the Q++ Restore from Backup Wizard which
makes it easy to restore backed up data safely (including
updating of the database structure for old backup sets
and the possibility of going back to the state of the
data before an accidental restore). |
