MQE/UF - Populating: MetriQ timesheets, for your time capture solutions

Hint: To see your icons in a list view format, right click your mouse anywhere in the Folder desktop (but not while over an existing icon), and choose Details. To return, repeat this operation, this time picking Large Icons.

Logon to MetriQ

Choose the folder that you are going to work on (see also Folders).

Then either:

1	Press the *New* button on the User Folder Task bar ( to open MetriQ's file manager ) or the Timed Event button to create a new Timed Event.
2	Right click the mouse in the User Folder Icon Panel and choose New Icon (opens Microsoft Explorer) or New Timed Event.
3	Drag & Drop your desired application/document from the Windows desktop, task bar or Microsoft Explorer (does not apply to timed events).
4	Use Favorite Icons
5	Copy/Pasting new User Folders already populated with icons (see also Folders)
6	Creating new Folder structures using Templates (see also Templates)

Continue adding the software, documents and Timed Events that you will need to work on the selected folder. You can add more software, documents and Timed Events at any time, provided the User Folder has not been previously locked (see Folder Profiles).

1	Files added to each folder are unique. So files added to one User Folder, will not appear in a different User Folder unless specifically added.
2	Files added to each User Folder are dependant on the user. Changing to a different user and opening the same User Folder will show a different selection of files to that of the previous user.
3	Files added to each User Folder are computer dependent. As each timing icon represents an underlying software package or file with a specific disk location, moving to another machine cannot guarantee those same software packages or files will exist or have the same physical hard drive location. As such, opening MetriQ on a different machine when in client Server mode, will not show the same software packages in any given sub-task. In this instance, MetriQ has the ability to share icons. To share an icon, right click the mouse over the icon, and open the Icon's property Sheet (Icon Property Sheet). Check the Share With All Users option. Other users now logging onto MetriQ will, if the icon exists in the same disk location, receive the same shared icon, in the same folder.

Networked Files: MetriQ is quite at home working with files across the network. Use the explorer tool that opens when you press the New button on the User Folder to select the required file. For example, if you wish to use a file name SomeFile.txt located on a server called SomeServer, in a directory called SomeDirectory, you can do one of the following:

(In the properties of each icon, method 1 will have a path name w:\Some Directory\someFile.txt, and method 2 will have \\SomeServer\\Some Directory\SomeFile.txt)
