BridalTrack's User Manual
While the layout of a BridalTrack database is very straightforward and it is designed to walk you through the entire process itself, if you do need assistance, this is the place to look. It details the steps you need to take to successfully manage your wedding's correspondence.
This manual is very similar to the BridalTrack Chronological Guide by the way it comprehensively details the entire process of managing your wedding's correspondence. The BridalTrack User's Manual, however, specifically details using a BridalTrack Database, while the other guide doesn't reference any specific data management system. If you do not have a BridalTrack database set up for your wedding, you can Sign up for an account and see how simple it is to use.
Each step of this manual begins from the Control Center Page which is the first page you will see when you log on to your BridalTrack Database. While logged on, a link labeled "Control Center" will appear at the top and bottom of every page of BridalTrack so that you are always one click away from it.
The six steps of managing your wedding correspondence by using your BridalTrack Database are:
| 1. Add Contacts | 4. Track RSVP's |
On the Control Center Page and in this manual, those six steps are ordered chronologically by when each should be accomplished and given a section that helps you accomplish them. Each step section on the Control Center Page are formatted similarly:
General layout of a step section on the Control Center Page
- Above each box is the name and number of the step. It also acts as a link to the page of this manual that details how to accomplish that step.
- In the dark blue section just underneath the step number and name is the timeframe for when the step should be completed. The dates listed are completely dependent on the date you entered for the wedding. So if the wedding date is incorrect, then all those dates will reflect that error as well.
- In the blue section below the timeframe, is a summary of what needs to be accomplished in that step and a quick explanation of how to do it.
- Within that main blue section, below the summary, is a dark blue box that contains a button or link that is integral to completing the step.
- Off to the right of the box are any totals of your database that are relevant to that step. This allows you to know exactly how many contacts you will be working with in that section.
- The number of the total also acts as a link to the View List Page showing just those contacts. For example, when you click on the number to the right of "Invited Guests:" in Step 3: Send Invitations, you will be taken to everyone who you designated to send an invitation
Again, the above example demonstrates the general layout of the step sections of the My Account Page. The specific layout of each step section will be shown and explained on the following pages of this manual. The specific actions you need to take to accomplishing each step using your BridalTrack Database will be comprehensively covered as well.
Hopefully the interface on your Control Center Page is so simple that this manual is only needed as an occasional reference. If you have any suggestions for making your BridalTrack database more user-friendly please email them to ideas@bridaltrack.com.
