Wide screen ClassPag (and other tips) with Chris Wolfe and Susan Strain

Wide screen is currently in the product. If you have wide screen and a current version, you have this feature.

New ad list stays open, does not go away. It has more information than in the non-wide screen version. Because it stays open you have more freedom to manipulate it. You can sort by columns.

You can also use a filter to zero in on the data you want. Right click on the column with the data you want to filter with. Select your criteria. You can save the filter as well. A filter that is saved is available to all paginators and is available within all paginations.

Filters can contain multiple selection criteria.

Filters are available even in non-wide screen paginations.

Ad details include the same information, but it is more logically organized.

There are tabs. You can see page information with the page tab. If you want to see page information for multiple pages you can easily page through.

There is a paper tab.

There is an ad chart which contains statistical data visually presented (pie chart).

Dell 24 inch widescreen, Mac 20 inch screen have been tested. Below 21 inches might be too small.

How do we enable wide screen?
In your webtermx shortcut, you will have a command

/u/cpag/menprof.sh

change it to

/u/cpag/menprof.sh 172

and that's it!

They do not support a vertically oriented screen for the time being.

Hovering over an ad you will get an "AdTip" (like a ToolTip) with information about the ad. This helps you locate an ad without clicking. Again this is available in non-wide screen. Configurable.

Question was asked about locating an ad on its current paginated location from the ad list easily. There is a six-step process currently which will do this. They are strongly considering making it easier.

The six-step process:
click find ad
right-click and choose either "search for display ads" or "search for line ads"
right-click and choose "search for an ad"
type in the ad number and press enter
right-click and choose "find page number"
go to this ad? click "yes"
