SOFTWARE for Load Lists at Tent & Event
companies and for other purposes as well.
Basic Instructions
-
Download and install the .Net framework unless you have it
installed.
-
Download the 30-day trial. Place the files anywhere on your local
drive.
-
Locate LoadList.exe and double-click it. The application should open
as long as the .Net framework is present on the same machine.
-
Right-click on either of the white boxes (tree views) in the Load
List screen.
-
Select 'File' then 'Open' from the menu. Navigate to the
Bill-of-Material.xml file located in the 'sample files' folder. This
file needs a minute to load due to the many tents
and component parts within the file.
-
In the 2nd white box (tree view), right-click, and from the menu
select 'New' to create a new file, or, preferrably, select 'file' then
'open', and navigate to the barracuda.xml file.
- Expand the Bill-of-material node,
like you would in Windows explorer. Then expand the node 'Tent
styles', then expand 'Century PP', expand 100' x 220' Century PP. See all the
part nodes! The part quantities needed by the tent have
been set.
-
Drag the 100' x 220' Century PP node from the tree view to a node in the second
tree view. Note that the parts travel with the parent node!
-
Right-click on either of the white boxes
and select 'Report' from the menu. A composite list of items from the
tree view (white box) should open in your web browser. A combined total for all
the parts from the tents available in the view (white box) should be in
the report.
