Buttons

SmartMan uses Buttons to allow you to turn features on an off. The buttons are arranged around the sides of the SmartMan window. Different Buttons will appear depending on which Menu is displayed and which version of the program you have purchased.

Toggles: Most Buttons are toggles. This means that you click it once to turn it on and you click it a second time to turn it off. For example in an activity you can turn the feedback off by clicking the Feedback Off Button. Click it again and the feedback will turn on.

Direct Action: Some Buttons act directly. They are not toggle. For example the Update Button and the Quit Button act immediately.

Windows

Buttons which execute actions will open in a window.

Most windows can be moved around the screen. To move the window, click on the top of the window, hold the mouse button and drag. This is particularly useful if you have stretched the SmartMan Screen so that you have more space on your screen. You can open several windows with information relating to the skills performance.

Most windows are toggled on and off by pressing the button once and then pressing it again.

Since windows are transparent, it is possible to have a couple windows showing through each other. Click the button to turn off (hide) the window that you do not want to show. How many windows you can display will depend on the resolution and size of the screen you are using.

Resize Windows

The SmartMan main window can be resized to make best use of your screen. This is particularly useful when attached to an external monitor. Some of the SmartMan buttons and analysis windows will display on top of other information. With a larger screen you can drag these results windows to show more results at the same time.

Procedure: Hover your mouse over the edge, click and hold, then drag to the size you want. The size in pixel (based no the resolution setting of your screen) will be displayed at the bottom of the SmartMan window. The screen does not have to be square, but if your size is less than 1000 x 700 some of the buttons and feedback area will overlap each other. The screen can be resized at anytime, however, some parts of the display may be forced off depending on which part of an activity you are in. We recommend making changes before an activity is going on.

Resize Button: The immediately returns the screen to the default setting which is 1000 px x 700 px. Sometimes if connected to an external monitor with a very high resolution, if you return to a smaller laptop screen, the window will no longer fit onto your screen, Press this button and it will fit correctly.
