Opening Event Data in Microsoft Excel

14/2/2017

0 Comments

 
When you run an event, RightBooth will automatically save any user details into the file UserDetails.txt.

​This file can be found along with all the videos, photos and messages in your event file folder within Documents\RightBooth6\Events.
The user details file will hold user names, email addresses dates and times of use, names of the files recorded by each user and also answers to any questions users have provided during the event.  All this information is formatted in the text file as CSV.  CSV stands for Comma Separated Variables which is a fancy way of saying that each piece of information in the file is separated by commas, and this makes it easy to load into spreadsheet applications such as Excel.

This is a typical userdetails file with commas between each data item on each line...

Now we'll explain the process of loading this data into Excel.
First run Excel and choose to Open a new file.

Also, choose to open Text files from the File Type list:

Browse to your event folder and select the UserDetails.txt file.  Excel will start to open the file and will recognise that it is in CSV format and will then show you the Text Import Wizard

The End Result

Excel will now load the user details into a new spreadsheet for you to continue working.

In this example, column A is the date, B is the time, C is the user's first name, D is the user's last name, E is the user's email addresses, F is the filename created by the user.
Other columns will appear with user's answers to questions if you run a question event.

Setting up a Printer in RightBooth

14/2/2017

This is step by step guide to setting up your printer for use in RightBooth.

1) - Connect your printer to your computer and check it is working.  This step possibly goes without saying but I'm saying it anyway.  RightBooth will only allow you to print photos if you have a fully working printer switched on and attached to your computer (usually via a USB cable).

So before running RightBooth, please make sure your printer is on, has ink, is not jammed and can print without problems. Also it is best to make sure that you have the latest software for your printer installed on your computer. Please refer to your printer documentation for details.


2) - Run RightBooth and from the main screen click Settings. In Settings click the Photo & Print tab.  If everything is working OK on your printer, it will be listed in the Printer combo box.  Select your printer from the list.

3) - Printers have default settings such as a default paper size and print quality.  When you have chosen your printer, RightBooth will show you the default paper size width and height underneath the printer name.  Make a note of these values as you will need them later.

4) - Open the event file in which you want to add photo printing.  Go to the Event Designer. Click the Event Type tab and make sure Photos is ticked.

5) - Next click the Event Structure tab and select the Print Photos tab. On this panel,choose either Yes or Ask. This will cause photo printing to be included in your event.


6) - Go to the Screen Designer.  In the screen list on the Designer Toolbox, select the Print Layout screen.  This will show you a view of your printer paper onto which you can design your photo print layout.  But before  starting your design you need to make sure you are working with the correct paper size for your printer.

7) - On the Screen Designer Toolbox, tick the Properties check box to show the printer paper properties.  Click the Paper drop drop and choose the paper size that matches the values you noted in step 3 above.  For example if your default printer paper size is A4, choose A4 from this list.

Note that in the Paper drop down, RightBooth will show you a list of commonly available paper sizes but if you find your paper size is not listed you will need to choose the last option in the list: Custom, and then add your previously noted paper width and height values into the W and H text boxes.  For example, the DNP DS-RX1 printer has a default paper size of 6.15 x 4.13 inches.  This size is not in the RightBooth paper list, so in this example you would enter 6.15 into the W box and 4.13 into the H box.

That's it !  You are now ready to design your print layout on the correct paper size for your printer.
