I hope not because my updates took forever!!
 
Anyone know how to look up the product numbers? I love the way I could do that on the old PP.
 
The little magnifying glass is right next to where you enter the number...

Rhonda: I've done it. Put in your guest, click items and then click on + and there will be a box to enter the item--you will also see a search (looks like a spy glass) click on that and you can search like before.
 
Looks like Gillian and I have been playing with the program!
 
I got up in the middle of the night (preggo lady bladder) and got a whim to install my P3. I figured it all out in the dark in the middle of the night, LOL! I LOVE new toys!

HAHHAHA. I am already on it GIRLFRIEND!!!!
 
Is anyone else having a problem getting the PP3 to run. I got it to install and then after I enter my id# and password I verify who I am and then it goes to update. After a few minutes I get an error telling me that the application update could not update successfully. I appear to have stumped the tech support guys. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours this morning and they couldn't figure it out.

Tracy
 
Haven't had that problem, Tracy. Sorry.
 
I've installed it and gone through the tutorial. So far, it looks pretty good!Wish we could import/export contacts, though... Maybe one day!
 
You only need to be online to submit your orders from what I saw in the help area.

I imported my contacts.
 
So didn't I. Today I added outside orders for the show I am closing tonight and a few minutes ago I put the payments in. Basically I am set to submit.

I even found the wish list for the customers section while I was looking around. A lot of hidden things--just need to explore and you find them!

So far I am happy with it. I really think I am ready to take the plunge and use it for now on.
 
Reports?Maybe I missed some earlier info, but where did all the reports go? The report section in P3 is VERY limited.
 
I was wondering also! I know some stuff moved (printing recipts and such) to tabs but there is a lot of reports missing!
 
Which reports are you looking for? I know not all of them are there but you can find most one way or the other.
 
I don't even know what I am missing, but a lot of them are gone! or moved I guess! I will play some more and figure everything out!
 
Thanks Harriet
I followed exacly haw you said to load it and it worked great .!!! Than I played around with it today I do like it alot abit getting used to after 7 years . cause all 3 screens in front of you ;;; Tasks,the show and all of your shows on the bottem..
I did call tec sep today to ask about printing guest reciets cause I could not find it for the lifeof me ... You go to the Host name on the Right side where all your shows are then on top of that it says print highlight the host name then click on the print all of the guesrs names will show up the check off the box and continue thats how you can print them ..

Thanks, Doreen. I did find that. I also found where the wish lists are and a few other things I thought were missing. I know I am going to enjoy using it. Like everything else it just takes time to get used to new things and where they are. I like the guided tour--it gave a good idea of things.
 
Harriet I guess we are going to have to figure stuff out all together here . When I called Tec Support he said they where sorry that they didn't give any instuctions , he said it a few times. . He did say that if you submit somthing you can go back all you have to do is manually put the show back into reg pp tnen you can continue to use pp . They did not have a date yet but soon we all will be on PP3 ,, I won't take long to get use to its just finding everythig cause there seems to be so much . But I do like it alot
 
Doreen you are so right! Oh good. The show I am getting ready to submit is on both PP and PP3--I did it on PP and then decided to put it on PP3 to see how I would like using PP3 and I do like it very much. I didn't have any problems and so I think I am going to take the plunge and submit it on PP3. I back up both programs so I know I won't lose anything.

Don't hesitate to ask me for help. If I can help you I will and if I don't know I will tell you that. I think most of you know I am not one that "knows it all".

I find the program fairly easy to adjust to.

Wish me luck while I submit!
 
Go for it ... I will probable be following you
And thanks , I may take you up on help cause I am not computer wiz at all .
 
I like how all of the reports are PDF and you can save them on your computer if you want to. The presentation is much better. I also like how they don't round up on the receipts and on the monthly sales reports. Nothing worse than having to tell someone that the computer rounded it up and having to look up the exact amount.
 
OK OK OK - so I finally broke down tonight and installed it.
At first it looked like 16...but after reading thru Jilleysue/Kevin's posts, I tried going thru My Computer...no luck. Then I found Gill's post about clicking "explore" - so I did that. Now it is updating and importing. Me? I am panicking. I don't like change.
And Jill - where the &^%#(& are you !??!!?!?!?
 
Carolyn--you'll be fine! The only big thing you may miss is Cluster Management seeing that you are a director and they don't have that on PP3 yet. I am getting ready to submit a show from there!
 
What the heck are we suipposed to do w/o cluster mgmt? I hate using web reports - they only work for me half the time.
