Vision Online does not require extensive knowledge of the
internet and - whilst some basic internet knowledge is recommended
- the whole process of setting up your Online site is simplified
for you. The vast majority of tasks are either conducted for you by Vision Forecasting support or are accomplished from within the familiar Video Vision
Plus interface and other tasks (such as uploading cover images to
your webspace) are extremely simple.
The initial setup process
- STEP 1: Upon subscribing
to Vision Online, your space on the Vision Online server will be
configured. At this point if you wish you may indicate that you will point your own personal domain name (e.g. mystore.com) that you have registered
with an appropriate registrar (e.g. register.com) to your space on the Vision Online server (so that your customers
can view your Vision Online site directly under your own domain name) or alternatively you can indicate that the site should simply be configured
on the vision-forecasting.net server.
In a standard setup all the dynamic pages that form Online are stored on the Vision Online server as is the
SQL Server database which drives your web site however a self-hosting option may be purchased if preferred. Included in the
setup fee is basic personalization of your site - this includes
the configuration of the email wording, basic site wording changes,
and adding your own logo to the site. Any other modifications
to change the design or functionality of your Online site may
be done as additional customizations - the possibilities you have
here are virtually limitless. This step is conducted by
Vision Forecasting support personnel.
- STEP 2. Your rental
inventory is uploaded into your online database.
Note that the Online database is a scaled down version of your main
store database and sensitive customer information such as credit
card information is NOT stored in the Online database. This step is conducted by
Vision Forecasting support personnel.
- STEP 3: Any additional
welcome pages of your choice - which link into the dynamic Vision Online search and reservation/request pages - are loaded
to your Vision Online webspace (or your own personal webspace if preferred) along with any item images that will be used. Most users
choose to register and use their own domain name so that customers
arrive at your own store domain, for instance www.your-store-name.com.
This whole step is generally done/arranged by you independently,
but assistance can be provided with this process if required at
the appropriate time and materials charges.
- STEP 4: As you
work with Video Vision Plus all relevant changes made (new items,
item edits, customer additions/edits, rentals, returns, etc) are
automatically uploaded to your Online database without any need
for you to double key information (as is necessary with most other
online rental solutions). To see more information about working
