Welcome to the JPrise Inc.
JPriseMerge tutorial. JPriseMerge comes with a set of help
files such as this one in html format so you can view them conveniently
with your
browser.
In addition to these Tutorial pages,
we have also provided basic help files. You may wish
to browse
through all the other help files to gain a bit of understanding first,
or jump right in and take the
tutorial walk through. Either way, we hope you will find JPriseMerge
is an easy and intuitive tool to use.
If you do NOT want to go through the tutorial, go to Exit Tutorial instructions
and turn off the Tutorial Mode!
It took the tutorial's author about 40 minutes to complete the
tutorial, so we would suggest expecting to spend about an hour on
it. After completing the step-by-step tutorial it took
approximately 20 minutes to complete the merge of the tutorial files.
When you are ready to operate in normal mode without the Tutorial,
turn off the DoTutorial in the Help menu:
When JPriseMerge was launched, it came up in its tutorial mode. When you continue, it will open up two representative GEDCOM source databases to play with and learn how to go about merging data. You will also be directed through the Tutorial Help Pages for step-by-step instructions.
JPriseMerge is organized into a set of windows which organize, display, and track the process of merging two GEDCOM genealogy databases into a single new database with information from the two source databases combined/merged into the resultant database. This resultant database can then stored to a separate GEDCOM output file for future use by this or other genealogy programs. For each of these JPriseMerge windows there is a corresponding window-specific help file, or set of help files, which describe the purpose of that window and how to use it.
In each session, when a JPriseMerge window is opened up for the first time, JPriseMerge will also automatically display the help page associated with that JPriseMerge window. This beginner behavior may be turned off (or back on) any time using the Help -> Show first-use help menu. This setting is stored in your projects preferences file and will be remembered the next time you start JPriseMerge.
Sometimes, there are concepts to be described than can are broader
than a single JPriseMerge window's help page. These
additional concepts will each have its own help page and all of then
can be found
by going to the Table of Contents
and choosing the appropriate link to click on there.
At the top of each help page you will find a link to the table of
contents, and from there you can navigate to any of the
other
help
pages. At the bottom of each page you will also find a link to the JPrise Inc feedback page which we encourage
you to use to provide us with suggestions on how we can further improve
both the tool and these help pages
