Help Topics
1. Printable Report Problems

When you click on "Printable Report" you will see an additional window appear, asking you to add an "Especially Prepared for [name]" and a "Suggested Retail Price," as well as additional comments. You then click on the "Go to Printable Report" button. A series of pop-up windows will appear as the computer compiles your data into one large report. Your printable report will appear in a new window called "Printable Report."

Common Problems

When I click on Printable Report, nothing happens. Why?
  • Look for the new window with the entire report (it may be loading in a browser window behind your active window). Then click on the Print Report icon, located in the upper right corner of the window. A dialog box will appear. Click OK to print the report.
  • Also be sure you are not running a pop-up disabler program. Although this will block legitimate pop up ads, it also blocks windows that display printable reports. To prevent this problem, either disable your blocker software, or hold down the [shift/control] key while you click report links.
  • Finally, be sure you are only clicking once on the "Print Report" link. Also, run as few programs as possible to easily locate the print report windows.

2. Download a report

To download your report, click the "Download Report" link and then click save in the window that appears.  Your report will be named "IntelliguideProReport-" and then the name of the first destination.  When the save dialog box shows up on your screen, you can specify a different name to save the report as.

Formatting your report:

Weissmann Reports recommends setting your margins to .2" for printing.  This significantly shortens the report.  Steps to change your page margins in Microsoft Word are as follows:
  1. In Word click "File"
  2. Click "Page Setup" (This will open a new window)
  3. Change the margins to .2 for the top, bottom, left and right margins. Then click "Ok"
Two-Column Printing:

Some users prefer two-column reports.  To modify your report in Microsoft Word, follow the steps below:
  1. In Word click "Format"
  2. Then click "Columns"
  3. Change the number of columns to 2, and click "Ok"

3. Can't find a destination

If the search results in, "Sorry, no destinations found. Please try again," try a more general search term. Slight variations in the way things are named may exist, so generalizing your search often improves results.

For example, searching for the destination St. Louis, Missouri using the search term "St Louis" will not return any results because Weissmann Reports spells "St. Louis" with the period. Searching more generally with the term "Louis" would have found the St. Louis destination.

4. Problems with report e-mail delivery

Before you e-mail a report to your client, verify that you have included an e-mail address in your profile. If you do not have an e-mail address in your profile when you login to the site, you will be prompted at that time to enter one.

What are the delivery status notification errors in my e-mail inbox?

If you see a message saying, "Report has been saved and sent successfully..." then Weissmann Reports has delivered your report to the client(s) you chose. If you saw this message and your client(s) did not receive the e-mail, or if you received any type of "Delivery Status Notification Error" in your e-mail inbox, there was an error on the recipient's end.

This error is often because a client(s)'s e-mail address was misspelled. Sending test e-mails from your own e-mail program is a good way to ensure that your client(s) can receive e-mails at that address.

If you have received a "Delivery Status Notification Error" e-mail and you are sure that the address is correct, please contact Customer Service at weissmann@ntmllc.com or 888-238-0044 (US) or 336-714-3324 (outside the US).

Note: Some Internet Service Providers like AOL will not deliver mail when the sender's name and the recipient's name are the same. If you experience problems when trying to send yourself mail, this could be the reason.

5. How to modify user and administrator information

There are two types of user information for every User ID. The information that is printed on the top of a user's reports that include name, phone number, e-mail, etc. can be viewed and modified by going to My Account, then clicking on My Profile. The other type of information controls what name is assigned to the account as well as the password and e-mail. This name is what appears in the welcome phrase after a user logs in, i.e. "Welcome, Tom!"

Below are detailed instructions on how to make changes to this information as an administrator and as a user.

Administrator update procedure:

  1. Go to My Accounts.
  2. Click on Administrator Tools.
  3. Enter the Administrator ID and password and click Go. The administrator information will be displayed on this page.
  4. To modify users other than the administrator, click on Edit Current Users.
  5. To search for a user, enter his name, e-mail address or User ID, or select List All to view all the users on the account.
  6. Select the user you wish to modify, make the necessary changes and SAVE the updates when completed.
User Profile update procedure:

  1. Log on with your User ID and password.
  2. Go to My Accounts
  3. Click on My Profile
  4. Click on Modify and make name, address, telephone and e-mail changes.
  5. Click Accept all Changes when completed.
  6. Next, click on User Tools (you may be prompted to enter your User ID) and make sure your information has been updated here as well. If not, make the necessary changes and click SAVE.
