Jeff,
Thanks for the advice, and we may consider creating videos as a resource
to review after our initial training sessions.=A0=20

Something that I think would help alleviate our user's general confusion wo=
uld
be to change the date format in the Content listings (Events, News).
Can you tell me where and what files to customize to change the date format=
 from ddmmyyyy to mmddyyyy, please.
We are currently 4.09 and will be upgrading to 5 later this year.

Thanks!
Angela

Angela,

In those cases I usually just create custom documentation for my clients wi=
th examples to help walk them through their custom application that I've ma=
de for them.=A0 I sometimes make video tutorials (since they are the fastes=
t to make and often easiest to digest), however PDFs with screenshots seem =
to be the most preferred option.
