3 Using the Manage Interface Admin area is comprised of different options. A simple option like "Manage Packages" has different sub options in it. Like "Addd a Package", "Update a Package", etc. Let s have a look on how these options and sub optionpage showing all packages in the system: are organized: Below, you can see a simple listing The listing shows all the packages already present in the database. You can use the small icons in front of a record to do some action on thatt specific record. Some actions work on a single record (like Edit, View, etc) and some actions also work on multiple records (like Active, Inactive, Delete, etc). Using the small Icons: When you intend to perform action on a record, you can justt click on the action icon in front of that record. Like if you want to set a record to in active, you would click the green icon in front of that record and the record will then be set to in active and the icon will change to a red arrow as shown below: Using the large Icons: Similarly you can perform actions to multiple records by selecting them and clicking the large icon on the toolbar for that action. For e.g., if you want to make all the records to active, you would click the checkbox in the blue header bar to select all records and then click the "Active" icon on the toolbar: Page 3

"30 day free trial for new members" package.

technology. This makes your admin panel work like a desktop application.

4 This will set all the records to active. When to use small or large Icons: For the actions that work on a single record (like you can "Edit" only one record at a time), you should ideally click the small icon of that record. But you can click the large icon on the toolbar, in that case, there must at least be one record selected, and if more than one are selected, then the first selected record will be taken for the action. For e.g., in the above screenshot, if you click the Edit button on the toolbar, you will be taken to the edit page of the "30 day free trial for new members" package. Inline Ajax Popup Windows: On most options, Add/ /Edit are performed using inline popupp windows using Ajax technology. This makes your admin panel work like a desktop application. Alsoo the response wait is reduced due to the fact that page refresh for each action is reduced. Apply & Save Buttons: Options like Add and Edit provide you two ways to submit the changes, you can click on Apply to just save the changes and stay on the same page or inline popup window, and you can click Save to do the changes and close the page/popup and go back to the listing.
