How Do I ...?
We get questions from people
every day about how to do things within EzyEating. We have put together
this "How To" guide to help answer some of the more common questions:
Q: Can I only pick a menu
for Dinner instead of all meals?
Q: I use a special Diet,
how can I get a blank copy of the meals database so it will only select the
meals I am allowed to eat?
Q: My diet needs me to
have a certain menu for 3 weeks, another one for the next 3 weeks and then
another one for the next 3 weeks and then I have to start again. Can your
software accommodate this?
Q: Can I pick meals for a
month at a time?
Q: What if
I don't like the automatically generated menu or if I know what I am going to
eat because it is strictly controlled?
Q: I want to be able to
add new ingredients and meals to EzyEating by my copy will not let me?
Q:
I have been using the demo
for a few weeks and I don't want to lose my menu history or the new ingredients
I have added. Is this possible?
Q: Can I only pick a menu
for Dinner instead of all meals?
A: Certainly.
Just click on Pick-A-Menu, then click on Pick-A-Time. Select the meal that
you want to select and click on the ü
mark.
Q: I use a special Diet,
how can I get a blank copy of the meals database so it will only select the
meals I am allowed to eat?
A: Many
of our customers have special dietary requirements. Just drop us a note
and we can send you a blank copy of the database. It can either be
completely blank, or contain just the Ingredients without the meals.
Q: My diet needs me to
have a certain menu for 3 weeks, another one for the next 3 weeks and then
another one for the next 3 weeks and then I have to start again. Can your
software accommodate this?
A: Yes.
The easiest way to do this is to obtain an Ingredients only copy of the
database. Enter all the meals for Cycle 1, rename the database as Cycle 1.
Repeat these steps for each cycle. Once you have loaded all your meals,
simply rename Cycle 1 to EzyEating.mdb and start your diet with EzyEating.
At the end of the first
cycle, rename your database back to Cycle 1 and rename Cycle 2 as EzyEating.mdb.
Continue as many times as you like and you can be confident that the history of
your meals is retained and you are complying correctly with your dietary needs.
Q: Can I pick meals for a
month at a time?
A: It
is very simple to create you menus for as many weeks as you like. Simply
select the week on the calendar and generate the menu!
Q: What if
I don't like the automatically generated menu or if I know what I am going to
eat because it is strictly controlled?
A: If
you ever have a need to manually control your menu, you can simply enter it by
selecting the meals in the drop downs.
If you don't
like the automatically generated menu, you can manually alter one or more menu
selections
Q: I want to be able to
add new ingredients and meals to EzyEating by my copy will not let me?
A: It
sounds like you have a demo copy of EzyEating. The demo is fully
functional except you are unable to create new meals. If you have
purchased a full copy of EzyEating, please uninstall you current version and
then reinstall your full licensed version.
Q:
I have been using the demo
for a few weeks and I don't want to lose my menu history or the new ingredients
I have added. Is this possible?
A: Of
course! Just reply to the confirmation email you received and we'll supply
you with an upgrade version of the software. This will retain your history
and still give you all the features of the new system.
