SpringCharts Version 8 - Quick Tour

SpringCharts offers a wide variety of features. The Quick Tour is designed to give a 20 minute overview of SpringCharts using screen shots. Detailed instruction is available with the SpringCharts Tutorials which are available for sale. A short version of the Tutorials are available under the learn menu item on the Spring Medical Systems home page.

The Tour Index to the left and the Expanded Tour Index below are provided to assist the visitor through the screen shots while giving context to where one is in the system.

This Tour consists largely of screen shots. Most of the screens are from the Tablet PC orientation (portrait) for SpringCharts. SpringCharts automatically adjusts for desktop/laptop orientation (landscape), so the larger screens will be laid out differently.

Finally, for performance and website layout reasons, some of the screen shots are reduced in size and/or resolution.
