MailMailer Software - Jens
To load different mailing list files simply input the file name in Load File Names Mailing List input area before you Load.
Business Valuation Model - LG
To use the software you must have Microsoft Excel installed on your pc. This has nothing to do with AOL or any internet provider you use. If you have Excel on your pc then you can download software by clicking the link (if you do not have unzipping software download the .exe file) and save it to your pc. Then double click the downloaded file to unzip/extract the software. Then open the Excel file.
DIV Error - Judith
I am not sure what software you are using but it sounds like you have a divide by 0 indicator which means that you are missing input or have a 0
value for revenue or something similar.
value for revenue or something similar.
GoldMine Web Import Scripts - Tim
As long as the field names match between the form and the GM database they will be imported to GoldMine. You do not need to change anything. There is no limit to the number of fields. We are currently working on a new version that will also send data as a csv and/or XML file for import into other databases including excel etc. Due for release in around 1 Month.
Budget Tool Business - George
On the input sheet input the current annual values, the montly percentages, and an Increase/Decrease value (Inc/Dec) this will allocate values to the next year budget. All individual cells on the input contain formulas and are protected. When you make a New Sheet the input data is used on the new sheet and you can adjust values as requred. This becomes your budget. Adjustments are not refeleted back to the input sheet. So if you already have budget data you what to use you can build the frame work (ie revenue and cost lines) on the input then create a new sheet and enter actual data. See the Instructions sheet for details.
Form1 Builder Software - Yoly
The email address is in the php script and this is never delivered to the browser only processed by the server so the email address cannot be seen (look at the source code of a form1 page running on a php server, no email address). Depending on your html skills you can add fields by simply typing the html directly into the form code teaxt area, or add all the fields in the form using your html editor before you use the form, or use the designer form to build all your required form fields and then simply copy/paste then within an existing form. You can use the require feature and email vailidation, but if you want to provide further validation you are probably best applying javascript. The next release wil include 'sessions' to rember the form data during the user session so they can go back and forth without ever lossing data (currrently this is dependant upon the browser). Form1 is simply uploaded to the standrad www directory just like any web page. As long as the server supports php it will run.
Production Mix Model - Jose
This error ussually occours when there is a difference (incompatibility) between the Excel set up and that expected by the Model. This model uses the solver addin for Excel. You can try the model on a differnet version/installation of Excel.
Password Protection - Dan
You do not need a password. I am not sure which software title you are refering to but if it is Excel based generally input is in the blue cells on the input sheet, these are not protected. Non input cells contain formula and are protected to maintain formula integrity. See the Instruction sheet or Help file for details on software use.

Wage Calculator - Stephen
The standard wage calcualtor is designed for 1 week and can only be changed with programming development work (depending on requirements this could be complex). The idea of using area for client allocation sounds fine, you can label areas with any name you like. The label on the button can only be changed with programming developemnt work (tihs would be a relativly minor change). If it is rostering you are interesed in not so much wages our Shift Scheduler software may be of interest (http://www.bizpeponline.com/ShiftScheduler.html).
Software Development - Mervyn
We did originally add a Forecast function using Microsofts inbuilt forecasting to the reports. The neuoxl system is still based on historical data (although it should handle historical variability better than the default xl forecast). Depending on your data this may or may not provide an enhanced forecast.
In some cases historical data may be a poor indicator of future performance and certainly takes no consideration of business decisions/drivers and thier impact on performance. This may be fine if the business and its market place are static ie just carrying on with momentum but potentially creates a false perception where the market is dynamic and the business is being activly managed. In these cases forecasting with leading indicators combined with decison impacts/outcomes is possibly better. However this is much more difficult than predicing from the past. Some base concepts in forecasting and can be seen in our Forecast and Budget Builder (http://www.bizpeponline.com/ForecastBudget.html relative indicators provide a measure of future outcomes) and Decision Assistant Model (http://www.bizpeponline.com/DecisionAssistant.html probability and quantification of outcome). http://www.palisade.com/html/risk.asp seems to be focused on risk analysis not forecasting. The best solution depends upon you forecasting purpose (I am not entirly clear on this purpose). Based on the blurbe it is difficult to determine how these products would interface with the reports (it could be easy or maybe not?).

Software Registration - Nicki
The evaluation software is converted to registered software when you input your registration details as stated in the registration email "The Registration Details above will fully enable current versions of evaluation software." You download the evaluation software and convert it to registered software using your registration details.
Analysis Software - Peter
To analyze variations you maybe best looking at charting software (or the charting functions in Excel). It depends a little on what you wish to achieve ie moving day averages, degree of volatility, forecasts past on past values etc. Neither the Decision Assistant or the Investment Analysis are designed for this task. Excel does have a reasonable range of charting and analysis functions and you can import data directly from the web in some cases using Web Query (from Excel go Data, Import External Data, New Web Query) or from CSV (comma separated) files (from Excel go Data, Import External Data, Import Data).
Pad Files - Pierre
A full list of pad files for our software are available at http://www.bizpep.com/padinfo.html.

You can use the Designer function in Form1 Builer http://www.softswot.com/FormBuildInfo.php to design a select field and then view the code to see what is required. ezyForm http://www.ezyform.com/formcode.html also provides some form code information and links to form code tutorials that may assist.
Shift Scheduler Continuous - Steve
The Scheduler has a number of constraints you can set and they apply to all staff in the roster. It does not identify days ie Saturdays and applies a random process to fill the roster requirements. If you wish to set specific contraints that are not covered ie only work 2 Saturdays out of 3 you can Manually Force a work or not work senerio by inputting a Y (yes) or N (no) in the shift/staff matrix to preset (force) the required work allocation for that shift before you Build Roster, ie use Y or N to set the staff working on the Saturday. Then when you build this will be preset and the rest of the roster built around it. To have follow on rosters use the Next Shift function to roll the preceeding shift details into the next shift period (ie it remebers staff details etc) and uses the same shift structure. On the vehicle roster issue we only have the one standard scheduler (but do develop as required for specific customers). I am not to sure how complex you want it to be but the concept for vehicles is no different to shifts (ie simply treat a shift as being time allocated to a vehicle). So in essense the standard scheduler could meet your requirements.

Most of what you have outlined is probalby best set out in a simple spreadsheet. The only complex item would be the forecasting (if it is meant to be calculated not simply an input). If your thought is to base it of historical data then Excels built in forecasting functions could be applied. If leading indicators or drivers are to be applied to the forecast then some form of relationship would need to be identified. The return of such a model for your business will influence the decidsion on value. If it is simply a record keeping process then an Excel speadshheet would most likly be best and could be developed by anyone with a little excel experience. If the forecasting component is adding real value to your business then it becomes a much more complex issue and requires further investigation into the best way to achieve this.

The real issue is sending the email address when they click a link. To do this they must frst provide the email address so you really need to set up a form that they input an email address and then when they submit it sends the email address to you by email for importing to your database and then redirects them to the page that you want them to go to. This can be achieved simply with something like our Form1 http://www.softswot.com/Form1Info.php and only having 1 form field, the email address. You can see a simlar thing in our join our Mailing List form at the bottom of our left navigation column on our pages, ie an email field and a submit button, when clicked the email address is sent to us and the user rediredcted to a specific page.

Form1 Builder Software - Paul
You can purchase a multi user license for Form1 Builder allowing the software and the forms to be used on client domains. If you have 2 clients you should purchase a multi user license for 3, 1 for yourself for the use of the Form1 Builder and 2 additional for licenses to use the processing code on the client sites. Please note that a license will cover all domains ownwed by a client so if 1 client has 2 domains you still only need 1 license to cover this. If at a future date you require additional clients licenses these can be added.
Form1 Software - Phillip
Make sure you have the files in the correct directory. If so it maybe that your sever does not recognize the .php extension. You can rename the files with the extension .html and give it a try, but dependng on the server setup the php script may not run correctly. Contact your server host and ask them the requirement to run php files on the server, they should be able to help.

The easiest way to work with us is via our Affiliate program. Usually this is the best starting point, from here it is possible to develop the relationship further depending upon the volume of business and value to each party. We are open to developing strong relationships with other businesses and in fact are considering reseller (distributorship) arrangements for our products. The suitabilty of these depends upon the resources and goals of the potential reseller. Currently our distribution/promotion is almost entirely internet based leaving a substantial undeveloped market.
Regarding assessing the modules they can be fully assessed using the evaluation version as the standard non-commercial license version is exactly the same as evaluation versions except they do not expire. We do not provided additional manuals etc but do offer Commercial licenses which are designed for inter business support and with many titles we can upon request; with a commercial license; provide an unprotected software version so formula and structure can be reviewed to gain a greater understanding of model operation. Perhaps the best start is to review titles of interest (not all will be applicable to your clients). If you let me know a little more about the potential you see for these products and your view on how best to manage them I would be more than happy to look at how we can work together most effectively and consider a structure/pricing model that would suit your needs.

It depends on the browser used and the encryption type set in your form (or the default). The order may be in the order on the form page or alphabetical. If you set form tag enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" the fields should be delivered in the order on the form page but this still depends on the browser being complient with the standards.

If you use the Form1 Builder it to build the form and use the php code from the generated it will identify radio/checkboxs and radio buttons set as required.

It is due for release in the next month or so.

Instructions are provided in the help file and mouse over comments.Use the command buttons to add the number of shifts/staff required, adjust times/requirements to suit and Build the roster. If you want to have 6 weeks in one go you will need 126 shifts (3*7*6) which is getting a bit cumbersome. It may be better to set up 1 week (21 shifts) and use the Next Roster function to follow on for the next 5 weeks.
Business Valuation Model - Ashley
On finance repayment only the interest component is considered. As outlined in the help/comments:
"The calculated Interest Rate is based on the Financed Amount and the annual Interest Cost from the Performance Data. No principle reduction is considered during the forecast period, only interest expense, principle components reflect assets."
The interest cost is treated as a cost and any pricipal reduction must be derived from the profit of the business. In this senerio the financed amount is basically working capital.

Business Valuation Model - Robert
Thanks for your feedback. We have deliberately minimized the complexity of the model and as you mention only focus on physical assets for depreciation. Intangible items ie intellectual property, brand, goodwill etc can actually be envisaged as part of the Other component of the valuation. This does assume that the value of intangible assets is maintain through the operations of the business and as such the depreciation component of this is by default covered by the business operating costs. For example development staff continue to develop intellectual property therefore the cost of this staff is in fact the depreciation value of the ip (the cost to maintain/replace it). You can also apply this concept to brand ie the marketing expenses are the cost of maintaining the brand. There are many other components which contribute to these however they may serve as a base example.

I am not entirely clear on your complete requirements but our Shift Scheduler may provide some support. Try setting each of the 50 locations as a shift with its own staff requirement. You can set the start time and length the same for each location or allocate a portion of the total shift to each location ie location A is 8:00 to 8:30 location B is 8:30 to 9:00 etc (shifts should be arranged in chronological order). For a complete day this would result in 150 shifts ie 50 locations for each of your 3 time blocks (shifts). It may be best to have a play with a small number of locations to see if the result is along the lines required before you try a full scale run. If the basic result structure is along the lines required the software can be refined to suit ie adjust shift names etc. This would be a reasonably economical solution to your problem.

GoldMine Web Import Scripts - Dane
Does your server support php? Check it at http://www.softswot.com/phptest.php If so php is the easiest to get running. Move it out of the cgi-bin and place it on your server just like a stantard html file. Only the pl script needs to be in the cgi-bin if you are using it. At the moment you have different cases in the file on the server name and the file name you call, ie your uploaded file is webimp2.php and you call WebImp2.php. So when you move the script file change the name back to WebImp2.php and adjust your call action url to the new location. Also you currently have name="redirectURL" value="clearsightdownload.htm" use the full url http://www.davincitools.com/clearsightdownload.htm. At the monent you are trying to find this url in the cgi-bin and it is not there.

Form1 Software - Rohan
You have a number of problems:
1. Missing html start tag
2. br tag outside body tags
3. No submit button within form tags. Without this the form can never be submitted. It also must have the name "submit" for form1 to process.
4. Field names all start with lower case. Form1 only processes field names starting with an upper case letter.
I have fixed these in the attached mailinglistform1fix.html. This is the complete form just upload it and it will run. You need to read the Form1 help file on how to use the fields ie upper case, pre-defined fields for email checking etc.
The file extension can be an issue with some server hosts ie they will only run a php code if the file name ends with .php. If this is the case for your server simply rename the file as mailinglistform1.php or what ever you like. It may not be an issue as you can see it runs fine on our server as a .html file.
You may find our Form1 Builder of use http://www.softswot.com/FormBuildInfo.php. The Existing Form function allows you to use exisitng files (ie built by dream weaver) and adds Form1 processing code for you. It is also worth checking the validity of your html code (your file had a couple of serious errors). Try the Form Validity section of http://www.ezyform.com/formcode.html for more info.

PL Compiler MYOB - Peter
The PL Compiler is designd to import your MYOB actuals data not the budget set in MYOB. The idea is that you actually build your budget in excel using the Compiler. This saves you from having to do it in MYOB (which can be a bit painful). Building your budget in the compiler streamlines the budget building process by applying pre set formula and forecasting functions.
Pricing and Breakeven Analysis, break even analysis and price elasticity. - John
You can use our Pricing and Breakeven analysis software http://www.bizpeponline.com/PricingBreakeven.html even with no units sales data.
You do not need the costs per unit. On the input sheet input:
Annual Revenue
Annual Variable cost
Annual Fixed Cost
For the Sales line (row 15 and 16) if you are not using the number of sales analysis the input number here does not really matter, set it to 1 if not used. Just ignore the values in the number of sales results. The chart will show breakeven by revenue.
You can toggle the Sales line blue column title to Num Sales (Number of Sales) by clicking it and selecting from the drop down. This is designed for
the number of sales and is used in the by unit analysis it is not a component of the revenue breakeven analysis. To use you can simply input an average number of transactions that make the revenue. This will provide some useful data on transactions without delving into specific unit metrics.

Shift Scheduler Continuous - James
From what you have said I think we can develop a solution.
Basically by proving a matrix and applying an allocation algorithm to
determine the time required from each staff member and the required sum an
automated system could be developed.
This would utilize Excel as a base and be driven by macros to determine a
result that meets requirements. The best way to proceed would probably be on
a develop and refine basis where an initial model is compiled and provided
for review with refinements and features modified to suit.
Scheduling development can be quite complex (and become increasingly so very
quickly). Any further detail available including
current methods applied, additional constraints, number of staff, time
ranges, variations to consider etc will assist in refining the possible
solutions and allow me to provide more information.

Business Valuation Model - Stan
The forecast (expected, optimistic, pessimistic) is derived from the Relative Indicators. The sensitivity analysis adjusts the variance of the Relative indicator from the base value of 100. The Optimistic Sensitivity increases this variance the Pessimistic Sensitivity reduces this variance. When a relative indicator is less than 100 this can have the effect of appearing to reverse the values calculated optimistic/pessimistic.
For Market Strength of 150% with all other indicators at 100% (no change year on year) Expected revenue of 500 000 becomes 750 000 (Previous Year Revenue * Market Strength % * Business Market Position % / Level of Competition % which is 500 000 * 1.5 * 1 / 1 = 750 000).
The Pessimistic Sensitivity analysis reduces the effect of variance of the indicator from 100 (the base value). For a pessimistic sensitivity of 20% a Market Strength of 150% becomes 140% (150 - 100 * (1 - 20%) + 100). If all other indicators are 100% (no change year on year) revenue of 500 000 becomes 700 000.
If the relative indicator is less than 100 say 50% the Pessimistic Sensitivity analysis still reduces the effect of the indicator i.e. for a pessimistic sensitivity of 20% a Market Strength of 50% becomes 60% (50 - 100 * (1 - 20%) + 100). If all other indicators are 100% (no change year on year) revenue of 500 000 becomes 300 000.
I hope this aids understanding of the sensitivity function a little. Regardless of sensitivity settings the Expected Values are applied directly from your relative indicators. If relative indicators of less than 100 are providing inconsistent optimistic/pessimistic values you can run various scenarios applying different Relative indicators to test a range of possibilities and forecast combinations.

When you purchase a license for Form1 Builder it covers as many forms as you like as long as they are on domains owned by the license holder. So if they are your websites they are covered by the Form1 Builder license. If you are a web designer and you are building forms for clients then for each client you will also need to purchase a Form1 (http://www.softswot.com/Form1Reg.php) license (US$15.00) so that the processing code is licensed for their domains (this covers all websites owned by a client).

Your problem is that
name="thankURL" should be name="thankurl". The name (case matters) is wrong so when you process it sends the email but cannot identify the page to redirect to so defaults to itself and then has no data to send and generates an error.
I have modified the attached and also removed the space in the file name (this is generally good practice as different browsers may url encode a space differently). It is also worth considering setting the email address (and other available variables) in the processing script to protect it from spam harvesting (for more info see http://www.ezyform.com/formspam.html).

You need to relate these to the forecast relative indicators. The issue is the impact they will have on the returns of the business which is forecast by the relative indicators. For example if lack of control affects the Business Market Position (strength) negatively then the indicators for this would be reduced. You can also integrate discount allowances by adjusting (increasing) the required rate of return in the valuation analysis. This in effect says that due to the increased risk an increased return is required.

Because this is a comparison based approach to contribution if there is nothing to compare an error results i.e. /DIV0. To use less than 5 segments set the Revenue data for the unrequired segments to a negligible value i.e. .0001, and the Relative Indicators to 100 i.e. no change.

Your test file is corrupted (some of its functions have been deleted?). I have attached a new file which I have setup for your shifts. Build Roster ran fine and a roster compiled. In the test file you had Max Number Days in a Row as 5. With your number of staff and 12 max hours this is not a feasible option. To fulfill the roster each staff member must work 84 hours this is every day so they must work more than 5 days in a week in fact they must work 7. If you add staff or decrease the shift requirement you can adjust this. I also change the Max Hours to 84, this relates to the hours a staff member can work in the roster, for the current setup they should only work 84 hours (this balances out the shift allocation). Use the attached file as your master. You can modify from here as required.

The Required Field problem is due to the names of some fields including spaces. To fix this I have modified your form (attached) and replaced spaces with _ (underscore) in the field names and also in the required array (generated by Form1 Builder). Spaces should not be used in field names as they become url encoded (they are not spaces but code representing spaces) on form submission.

Glad to see you had success. As outlined in previous emails you have to remove any comment code above the web page code before you build with an Exisiting form.
As outlined in the Help file you can set a field as required by making the field name all upper case. So just make you email field name EMAIL and it will be required. You can easily edit this in a text editor (notepad).
To have a one or the other form selection on the same page you should have each of the sections as an independent form. They can use the same Form1 processing script but should be separate forms with separate submit buttons.

Thanks for the compliment.
When you have different types of items you can simply treat them as a total by using the total revenue, total number of sales and total expenses. The result will give you average prices and a percentage change which can be considered for each of the item types.
It should be noted that if the items are significantly different in price characteristics you should run then through as individual item types i.e. just do each separately using the revenue, number of units and expenses for each individual item type.

Sounds good. If you are getting a required field message and you have completed all fields in the form check that the field name does not exist in the form as a hidden field and that it is not set in the required fields array at the top of the php processing code This array is set when you build using Form1 Builder and if you manually change the form after using Form! Builder you may have an array entry but no matching form field.
The value field is not required. All it does is provide a default value for the input. It has no affect on processing.
When using Form! Builder Designer form the Required checkbox simply changes the corresponding field name to upper case. If you have already set the field name as upper case it leaves it that way.
Form1 Builder and forms built using unregistered software include full functionality but will only work for 7 days form the start of evaluation. To maintain forms they must be developed using registered software.
Glad to hear you like HTML-Kit. It is (IMHO) the best and cleanest html editor available and is my editor of choice. I look forward to receiving feedback on your experiences.

A couple of points:
1. The files you sent have been downloaded from the internet and include the top comment header "!-- saved from ....." This should be removed before use with Form1 Builder.
2. The Form action in your files includes a target=_blank tag. Basically means open new window I have replaced this with a standard action as below.
In the 2 attached files I have made the above modifications. Save them to your pc. To use them in Form1 Builder
1. Open Form1 Builder.
2. In the Required Base Input your delivery email.
3. Click Existing Form.
4. Click Browse and select the file name
5. Click Build Form
6. Copy the highlighted Form Code in the Text Area, open NotePad paste, input the file name and save (it is usually best to include the extension as .php).
7. Upload the file to your server and open on the web i.e. input the url address into your browser.

First you need to rebuild you forms with registered software (use the registered Form1 code not the evaluation code). This will remove the "Evaluation period expires...".
The auto-responder goes to the value set in the field name "Email". See the Auto-Responder section of the help file. The subject line is made up of the fields named "Email" "FistName" "LastName". See the Pre-Defined Fields section of the help file. Check your redirect url to ensure it is correct (it sounds like it is not valid and is breaking the php code). Also try a different url i.e. try http://softswot.com. If this works the problem is your url. All fields with a name commencing with an upper case letter will be delivered. If you require a different delivery system i.e. only deliver non-empty fields we can modify with a little development work.

PrintShop has nothing to do with Form1 however it appears your computer associates the file QuickForm.php with "Broderbund Quick Prints Type" file. In your local folder (i.e. where you saved the QuickForm.php on your desktop) try right-clicking QuickForm.php and then click Open With and then select Notepad. Select the Always use this program checkbox, this should change the file association allowing you to open .php files on your computer in Notepad and remove the previous file association.

You had a whole pile of required fields set in the prosseing code. Some of these did not exist on the form so it would never be submitted because all the required data was not provided. You appeared to have removed fields after the using Form1 Builder. You should not remove required fields after Form Builder has been run. If you do just remove the php processing code from the top of the form page and rerun Form Builder using the Exiting Form Function.
Shift Scheduler Continuous - Peg
Our Shift Scheduler includes extensive use of macro features not generally supported by Mac's. In many cases even when the Macro's are run on Mac's the functions can not be completed, hence the lack of results. For this software to function correctly it should be run on a windows based system.
Shift Scheduler Continuous - Richard
The scheduler does not include constraints to force continuous days off i.e. must work 4 days and then have 4 days off.
The best way to handle this is treat each block of days as a shift i.e.
4 days 08:00 - 20:00 Block A treated as 1 shift
4 days 12:00 – 00:00 Block B treated as 1 shift
You can have as many blocks as required (depends on the roster duration required) following on with different start times/lengths. Set the required staff levels for each block/shift. Then set the break between shifts as the required i.e. 4 days = 4 * 24 hours. This will result in staff working a Block (A or B etc) and then having a required break of 4 days. The success of this approach will depend on your specific requirements and may not be suitable for all situations.

EmailCC "in conjunction" simply means that when this checkbox (EmailCC ) is ticked a copy (CC) of the form submission will be sent to the submitters email address as well as the delivery email address i.e. you get a copy of the form you submit.
Form1 Software - Joe
If you build a calculator with the data items as form fields (input and hidden) when sent the data fields will be processed and sent by Form1 processing. You could build the calculator with JavaScript or php. Php does not depend on the user having JavaScript enabled on their browser, but it does require page refreshes to process. JavaScript would allow on the fly calculation. We could develop a calculator page to provide the functionality and delivery required. If you are interested send me the calculator requirements i.e. inputs, required calculations and outputs and I will provide further detail.

Queuing Model - Ken
If you select an Arrival Rate base as per Day this refers to activity within a 24 hour period. If you only operate for 8 hours a day then to model the activity within this period a per Hour basis should be applied.
GoldMine Web Import Scripts - Jonathan
We provide set up support for registered users, just send us an email. Once you upload the script to your server you can direct any form you like to it for processing. This way you can have multiple forms processed by the one script with each form containing its own processing instructions but using the same processing engine.
