Overview

 

This topic shows you how the program is structured. Grouped into three distinct workspaces, the Morning Flight desktop will be familiar to anyone who has ever worked in a print shop.

 

 

 

The Control Workspace

 

In My World you'll find a number of settings that you have already entered during Pre-Launch. Missing is the name of your company, your own personal preferences, and the quantities you most often quote on.

In My Shop you enter your shop's profile and equipment data. It's also the place where you optimize your run prices for your local market.

In My Store you keep track of your customers and maintain your products, ink, and paper. While the costs and hourly rates you set in My Shop generally control your run prices, My Store costs and markups will determine how much you charge for paper.

 

 

The Activities Workspace

 

Your main workspace, the button you'll use more than any other.

 

 

 

The Utilities Workspace

 

Morning Flight wouldn't be much of an estimating program if it didn't have run pricing, paper pricing, and paper cutting components built in. Those components form an integral part of its pricing engine and are tucked away under the hood, doing their work transparently.

In the Utilities workspace, you'll find stand-alone versions of all three to help you with special projects, quotes you just have to massage by hand and work out on paper. What makes these tools unique is that each can be converted from U.S.A. to ISO paper sizes and from inches to millimeters, independent of the settings you're using for the main program.
