Guidelines to Remember

  • Follow each task as directed and do not click ahead of the assigned task
    • This causes error within the program
  • Slow down and go by the manual. This will make the program and process go smoothly
  • If material has not been properly laid out and reserved in the program correctly, once completed you will NOT have the opportunity to add more.
  • Done tasks will show at the bottom of the task list
  • DO NOT RUSH THROUGH THE PROGRAM PROCESS!!
