Content Cart Help - Flash Version

Overview

If you're pressed for time, printing pages one-at-a-time limits the amount of information you can retrieve from a site in a single session.

The Content Cart is designed to expedite the process of collecting and printing web documents from the MNet site. In the same way a shopping basket allows you to gather items in anticipation of bringing them all to the cash register, the Content Cart allows you to collect web pages while you search. When you're finished, you can bring up the screen where your collection is listed, review and remove items, and then print all your selected documents with one click.

Your Content Cart list remains active for the duration of your session.

Once you close your browser window, your list is deleted.

Adding and Tracking

Topic overviews, sub-topic pages, and resource documents all have a button that allows you to add them to the Content Cart. Click on "Add to content cart" at the bottom of each page.

A confirmation window acknowledges each addition. Click "close window". The Content Cart Tracker, located on either the left or right sidebar (depending on the type of document), allows you track the number of pages you've put in the cart so far.

Reviewing and Selecting

Review your list of selected pages at any time by clicking on the link "Review your selections" under the Content Cart Tracker. You can also go to the list by clicking on the Content Cart button in the left sidebar menu.

The Content Cart page lists the titles of all documents you've assigned to it. You can click on the title to remind yourself which document it refers to—then click on your browser back button, or the Content Cart button, to return to your list.

After reviewing your list you have three options:

1. Remove items from your list by selecting the [click to remove] link to the right of each item.

 

2. Print your documents.

 

3. Return to surfing by clicking the back button.

Printing Option 1

Option 1: Printing all the documents at once:

You can print all of the documents in your list, in one session, simply by clicking the "Print" button at the bottom of the list. Doing so causes a special "print version" window to launch.

The "print version" spares your printer's ink cartridge by only displaying the text and

minimal graphics.

In the printed version, documents will appear in the order in which they were added to the cart.

Printing Option 2

Option 2: Printing subsets of the list

Suppose you wanted to print subsets of your document list, and not the whole thing at once.

To do this, click in the box to the left of the document title to remove the checkmark.

Only the documents with checkmarks will be included in the printed version.

They will be printed in the order they were added to the cart.

After you've printed your subset of documents, you can return to your list and select other subsets for printing.
