Question: How does Quick Navigation box work?

#

1. Moving the mouse-pointer over the Quick Navigation box, the user user will see 4 options displayed:

"View": lets the user view a specific page in the EIS Wiki. Clicking View pops-up a dialogue box allowing the user to enter the name of the page they wish to see. If the box isn't displayed, it probably means that the user's browser has javascript disabled. The user can either change their browser setting to enable javascripts to be runor simply enter the page name in Quick Navigation box and then click the View link to continue.

"Edit": works like the View link.

screenshot:#

"Clone": works like the Edit link. The difference is that the Edit link is used to edit the existing wiki page, while Clone is used to make a copy (clone) of the current page and edit the new page.

"Find": is used to find EIS Wiki pages with a specific search string. The search string can be a Page Name, word or sentence anywhere on the page.

"Skin": there are 6 different skins available for use with EIS Wiki.

Warning: IE browser users are advised to select the "PlainVanilla" skin (the default) as problems have been noted when used with the other skins. Users of other browsers, however, are free to enjoy the different EIS Wiki styles.Firefox users should set their Desktop resolution to 1280x1024 for the best results.

Most other settings here are self-explanatory.

3. User Profile tab:

"Change Password": users can change their password using this tab. If a password has been forgotten, then please use the "Lost Password" link on the menu to the left. The user will receive an e-mail from EIS Wiki, containing a new random password. In order to use this feature, the user must enter their email address when registering with the EIS Wiki.
