Jenny: I think this software would be really helpful for us.


Richard: Yes, it’s one of our most popular products.
Jenny: Could you show me how it works?
Richard: Of course. It’s really easy. First of all, be sure to install it on
a secure computer, as you probably don’t want everyone to
have access.
Jenny: Oh yes. Will we get login credentials, like a username
and password?
Richard: Yes, certainly. Don’t forget to change the password as it is a
temporary one. Try to choose something secure but easy to
remember.
Jenny: Ok, great. Now, what’s next?
Richard: Once you’ve done that, you are logged in and you can
easily access the information. Just make sure to choose
the section of information related to your department and job.
Jenny: That was easy. Thanks! I just forgot the filter.
Richard: Yes, people often forget the filter. Don’t forget to make sure that
the filter is off before you run your next search though. If you
don’t, you won’t get any results. Ok, …that’s it!
