Stars Online Video Tutorial: How to Use the Components Online Application
Welcome to the Stars Online Video Tutorial! This tutorial aims to guide you on how to use the components online application. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, this tutorial will cover all the necessary steps you need to follow. So let's get started!
1. Introduction
Before diving into the tutorial, it is important to ensure that your company has been set up to use both Col2 and Fast Star, which can be accessed through the same login. If you have any inquiries about this setup, please contact Star Buildings to confirm.
2. Logging in to the CLL to Application
To begin, login to the CLL to application through the Star web portion of Star's website. Once logged in, you should be on the project dashboard page. Make sure you are in the components dashboard and not the buildings dashboard.
3. Entering Part Information
The tutorial will focus on entering part information and using the shopping cart. Let's start by hitting the "New" button after entering your project name and zip code. If you are ordering 24 inch double lock panels, navigate to the panels menu option, select roof panels, and then choose standing seam. From there, you can select the specific panel width you desire.
3.1 Selecting Roof Panels
When selecting roof panels, there are various options available, including the double lock option. Double lock panels are available in three different widths, so narrowing down your selection based on panel width is essential.
3.2 Narrowing Down Panel Width
Once you have narrowed down the category to 24 inches wide double lock panels, a new screen will appear asking you to enter key data for that particular material. This may include quantity, length, thickness, color, roof slope, lab conditions, or punch patterns. After entering all the relevant part information, simply hit the "Add to Cart" button.
4. Adding Parts to the Shopping Cart
After adding a part to the cart, a new screen will appear confirming that the product has been successfully added to your shopping cart. You have the option to either continue shopping or proceed to checkout. If you wish to add more parts to your order, select the "Continue Shopping" option.
5. Proceeding to Checkout
If you choose to proceed to checkout, the system will take you to the shopping cart. However, we will review the shopping cart later in the tutorial, so for now, let's continue adding parts to the cart.
6. Selecting Continue Shopping
By selecting the "Continue Shopping" option, you can explore other categories and add more parts to your order. Let's navigate to the hardware heading, then fasteners, and finally tech drillers. Each category offers a wide range of parts to choose from.
7. Exploring Other Categories
7.1 Hardware
Under the hardware category, you can find various hardware components required for your project. Explore the options available and select the ones that meet your specific needs.
7.2 Fasteners
Fasteners are an essential part of any construction project. Choose from a wide range of fasteners to ensure the secure installation of your components. It is important to note that there may be quantity restrictions for certain fasteners, requiring you to purchase them in specific quantities.
7.3 Tech Drillers
Tech drillers are specialized tools used for drilling holes in various materials. Depending on your project requirements, select the appropriate tech drillers from the available options.
8. Adding Fasteners to the Cart
Now that you have selected the desired fasteners, add them to your shopping cart. After adding them, you may notice that the shopping cart icon in the upper right-hand portion of the screen has incremented by one, indicating the number of items in your cart.
9. Adding Channel and Jam Trim
Continuing to build up the shopping cart, let's add a channel and jam trim. If you know the part number, you can search for it specifically instead of navigating through the menu. This can save time and make the ordering process more efficient.
10. Searching for Specific Part Numbers
When searching for a specific part number, enter it in the search dialog provided. This avoids the need to go through the menu options and directly takes you to the desired part.
11. Frequently Bought Together Option
While entering part information, you may come across a frequently bought together option. This option suggests other materials that are frequently purchased together with the part you are currently ordering. Take advantage of this feature to ensure you have all the necessary components for your project.
12. Building Up the Shopping Cart
To further enhance your shopping cart, consider adding additional items such as an EVE strut roof jack from the accessories category or PBR panels. By carefully selecting the required parts, you can create a comprehensive order that meets all your project needs.
13. Reviewing and Modifying the Shopping Cart
Once you have added all the desired parts, it's time to review and modify your shopping cart. The shopping cart page lists all the materials you have selected for your order. Here, you can easily modify quantities, delete parts, and review individual item input. If needed, you can also add project notes to provide specific instructions for your order.
14. Adding Project Notes
If you have any specific instructions or notes for your order, you can add them using the project notes feature. This ensures clear communication between you and Star Buildings regarding your requirements.
15. Proceeding to Checkout and Placing an Order
When you are satisfied with your shopping cart and ready to place your order, select the "Proceed to Checkout" button. The remaining steps to place an order will be covered in another tutorial. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please contact Star Buildings.
