Quick Start

If you want to start using PlanBee immediately the following instructions will enable you to start creating a buzPAK right away.

Note: When you first install PlanBee you must enter an author name. You need the same author name to edit certain parts of a buzPAK.

To create a buzPAK

  1. After installing PlanBee, start your default web browser (PlanBee detects your default web browser for Windows during installation, and it will only connect to that web browser unless you change the settings).

Note: If you want to change PlanBee's browser settings see, Choose Your Web Browser.

  1. Once your browser has started and is connected to the internet, start PlanBee. If you are starting PlanBee for the first time you must enter an author name. The PlanBee Quick Start window appears, after you enter your author name. Please read the information on the Quick Start window, or click its Close button to remove it.

  2. Go to the PlanBee main window.

  3. Click Edit in the Menu bar, and select Application Settings. The Application Settings window opens.

  4. Click the User tab. The User tab opens. Enter your email information in the fields under Mail. Entering this information will enable you to use PlanBee to email buzPAKs to others. (For more information see, Add User Information.)

  5. PlanBee should open in Capture On Demand mode, if not click the Web Browser Connection button on the PlanBee toolbar until it is in Capture On Demand mode. PlanBee is connected to your browser, and you start capturing URLs by opening webpages in your browser, and then clicking the Capture URL button on the toolbar.

  6. As you begin capturing URLs, groups, items and connections start to appear in the Map tab of the PlanBee window.

  7. PlanBee also inserts a summary Note, which is attached to the buzPAK background. This note is included to provide you a place to summarize the contents of the buzPAK. You can, however remove it (see, Delete a Note)
