You can use the demo-data system interchangeably with your real data. The two systems are completely separate and only one system can be active at a time. Switch between Demo and Real by checking the option on the opening window. When you use the demo-data you will see a Message: "YOU ARE USING DEMO DATA DEMO-DATA HAS BEEN LOADED DEMO DATES HAVE BEEN SET TO CURRENT MONTH AND YEAR To get an idea of what Merit Scores will tell you Click on MERIT REPORTS, Select MERIT GROUP then, Choose MONTHLY" "DEMO DATA" Will also be in the title bar of menus OTHERWISE, your start-up message will read. "YOU ARE USING YOUR OWN DATA YOUR DATA HAS BEEN LOADED ALL DEMO DATA HAS BEEN REMOVED" NO DEMO-Data or REAL-Data is deleted during changeover. Demo-Data dates are always updated to current month for demo. *************** QUICK START: Step 1: Create MERIT GROUPS Or CATEGORIES. Your Merit Group(s) will describe People like; Workers, Family, Friends, etc. Start at the Photo Profile Screen and "Add Merit Groups" Step 2: Assign Merit Points to activities that "Aid" the Group and dMerit Points to prohibited activities. Step 3: Develop Merit Rewards to offer as an incentive for Group Members that reach the required score. Step 4: Use MERITS4U(tm) Software to document group member activity. Performance can be tracked by day, week or month. Step 5: For Motivation Share the program with your Group Members for active participation in earning Merit Points and Rewards. ============================================================================= MERITS4U(tm): THE RULES MERITS & dMERITS 1. A Merit Activity is one that helps the Group but is not part of the Group Member's Job Description. 2. A Merit Activity is scored based on one point per hour and the maximum points for one Merit activity is 10. 3. A job Description Task that is left un-done is a dMerit. 4. All prohibited activities are also dMerits. 5. The Maximum dMerits for one instance is 40. - equivalent to docking a worker 40 hours of Merits. If more dMerits are deserved, the situation probably calls for more discipline than this program can hand out. REWARDS 6. Two kinds of rewards are suggested: a) Rewards anyone can receive when reaching required points - like lunch. b) Rewards with choice options at each Point Plateau to give more data on what works to motivate your group. 7. There are no rules for the number of points required to get rewards. 8. All rules can be changed by the User. The system is very simple to use and most of the help topics only require a few lines of explanation. ============================================================================= HISTORY & PLANS MERITS4U(tm) is custom Motivation Management Software developed on Windows XP and upgraded to run on Win 10.
