Information Notecard

WELCOME MESSAGE
Visitor Message
Visitors to the shop can be welcomed, when they enter the defined shop area, with one of 3 types of welcome: Chat, IM or Dialog. You can also personalise the message with the visitor's first name or full name.
Floating Text
You can set some floating text in any colour which appears just above the centre of the "Shop Manager" object.
REZZING NEW OBJECTS
When you rent a shop you will usually need to be a member of a group and items you place in the shop will need to be set to the land group or they will get auto returned. Given that there is a limit of 25 group memberships this can cause problems especially if you’d like to reserve a number of groups for social or other purposes.
The group object rezzer function allows you to rez new or updated items with the land group set without yourself needing to be a member of the group.
Drop an object from your inventory onto the "Shop Manager" object while holding down the Ctrl key. It should have a red highlight border when you drop. The object you drop will be rezzed in front of the "Shop Manager" and will have the correct land group set.
VISITOR COUNTER
Visitors to your shop are counted when they enter the shop area you define. Any person will be counted only once a day, but the same visitor will be counted again on another day. Managers are excluded from the visitor count.
Each day the number of visitors is remembered and at the end of each month an email report of the number of visitors each day is sent to a number of email recipients.
There is also the option to send interim reports containing visitor counts for each day in the month so far. These can be set to any frequency, for example every day or every week, and it may go to different email addresses to the monthly report.
There is also an option to show the visitor names today.
Shop Area
You define the shop area as max and min x value (east/west) and max and min y value (north/south) in region coordinates.
This is the area for which you want to count visitors such as the floor area plus a bit outside for window shoppers.
The make it easier to work out these numbers you can use the "Shop Area Marker" prim which can be obtained from the "Shop Manager" with the "Area Object" menu button.
Detection
The "Shop Manager" will scan for new visitors periodically. The scan has a maximum range of 96m, but will scan only the smallest area necessary to cover your shop area. You can set the frequency of the scan to minimise lag and minimise the risk of missing a visitor.
CHANGING THE OBJECT LOOK
The "Shop Manager" can be any object you like in your shop. It comes in a variety of example shapes and sizes but each is fully modifiable so can be changed. It can also be part of a multi prim object with the scripts in the root object prim or a child prim. You can also put the inventory content into another object or your own making.
The "Shop Manager" could be your main shop sign, a plaque on the wall, a sculpted pin on the ground or a highly visible animated object with particle effects.
