The word processor will reopen and display
"Is this the résumé you would like to import for [name]?"
If the document opened is the correct one then respond YES to the
"Yes"/"No" option

Commonly Asked Questions -
-
In the Job Order screen there is a new checkbox
for CARRY OVER. What does that
do?
When
creating a Job Order for a temporary job there are two options for dates: As
Soon As Possible (ASAP) and Start and End Dates .
Checking the Carry Over box migrates
the Start and End dates to the
Candidate Search and the Assignment for... screens.
Of course, once in those screens you can edit the dates as necessary.
-
On www.summit-sw.com/staffsoft the new Windows Me
(Millennium) edition is not listed as a supported operating system.
Why?
Windows
Me is designed to be a home user application and does not have the imbedded
features and functions that has made Microsoft's other operating systems
common fare for office environments.

Administrator's Utility Review - Backup Basics by
Leo Laporte at ZDNet
[This
month we are tapping into some nerdy stuff.
Yet, I cannot stress how important a backup of your data is!
Nothing is so gut twisting as a StaffCare customer who calls after a
computer crash pleading for help. Mr.
Laporte enumerates everything I would want to say, and his article is easy to
read. Although he has targeted the
single user, you will find the information herein valuable and the advice
timely. Now I'm breaking convention
here and pointing you below to the complete article (address below).
It is worth the time to read.
Johnnie Tate]
"Your hard disk will crash. Count on it. It happens to everyone
eventually. And when it does you will be glad you have a backup copy of all your
data. You do have an up-to-date backup, don't you? You don't? Never fear. Here
are the simple rules of data recovery for people who hate to back up.
I strongly recommend using some form of removable media for your backup.
If you can't take it with you, it's not a backup. I know a famous author who
lost an entire novel because her backups were stored next to the computer when
her house burned to the ground. You can back up to floppy disks if you have no
other choice, but floppies aren't reliable for long-term archival storage. And
filling dozens of floppies is so time consuming, most people will put off
backing up until it's too late."

Manager's
Moment - Technical Support Pricing
Most
of you see the benefit of the annual $1,200.00 StaffCare Technical Support
Contract and value being able to pick up the phone and have your concern
addressed by the great support team here! We
strive to be the most responsive technical support team in the staffing software
industry. For the last 12 months
our response / call back rate is 96% within one hour and customer problem
resolution success rate is 99%. Sadly, many have allowed their subscription to lapse and are
shocked when presented with the pay-as-you-go option.
The
cost of Technical Support for non-StaffCare subscribers is $35.00 per 10-minute
increment, one half hour minimum charge. That
is upward of $105.00 per call. Credit
card information must be given in advance.
We accept all major credit cards.
Regardless
of the plan you choose, the professionalism of our staff and quality of service
will be excellent. We look forward
to serving you!
Johnnie
Tate, Technical Support Manager
