Web Enable Traffic Trax and Global

This will require TRAXsales updates 11.5 or higher and a pre – established internet connection.  If you don’t know which version you are currently on, just go to Help up on the menu bar and About… and this will tell you which version of Trax you are running.  If it isn’t 11.5 or better please call Mike at 888-646-5462.

Once you are updated to 11.5 or better and have established an internet connection you will need to open up Traffic Trax and go to File at the top and then properties.  This will bring you into the Trax properties screen.

Make sure to check the box labeled Web Enable Traffic Trax and Global.  Once you have done this hit the OK button.  Next you need to go to Administration at the top of the Traffic Trax screen on the menu bar and then Show Room…and this is where you will fill out all of the showroom information such as Name, Address, etc.  

 

Then you will need to select the [Edit Dealer / Showroom ID] button.   This will enable you to type in your Dealer ID, Dealer Name, and Showroom ID.  Your Dealer ID will be any 4 digit number you want and the Dealer name will be your company name.  You should only change the Showroom ID if you have more than 1 location with the same Showroom ID.  After all the information is complete and correct select [Save].  When finished saving it is time to update the web.  This is done by selecting the [Update Web] button.  NOTE: This could take several minutes and/or up to an hour to finish.  Keep in mind that this is the initial upload.  After this they will only load the most recent up to date information.  After everything is set up in the showroom screen it’s time for the final step.  You will need to set up the Task Scheduler to run periodically behind the scenes.  So go to your Start button and select Programs then Accessories then System Tools and then Scheduled Tasks.  

 

Once you are in the Task Scheduler go to Add Scheduled Task.  This will open up the Task wizard.  Select the [next] button and then [Browse] to C:\Program Files\TRAXsales\Ttload.exe.  You want to highlight the TTload.exe and select open.
