Suggestion Box (all styles)
Complete Instructions & Help
___General Use___

Visitors Touch to receive Instructions Note (blank suggestion form,) and after filling it out they Drop it into the Suggestion Box. (Only notecards are accepted, all other items will be deleted.)

It can be set to IM the owner when new suggestions are received. When suggestions are available, the owner or anyone added to Access List can Touch for a Menu and Get all notes, delete all notes, and more options.

___Setup Instructions___

Set your Suggestion box out. Open it in EDIT and click on "More>>" to reveal the tabs. Under the "Content" tab open the notecard named "Configuration."

Edit the settings in the "Configuration" notecard, (see below.) When finished Save the note and close all windows. The object should reset automatically. If it does not, click on the object and select "Reset" from the dropdown menu.

After the object resets it will ask you if you wish to receive IM Notifications? If you would like to be notified each time a new notecard is deposited select 'Turn IM On'.

That is it! Be sure to customize the "Suggestion" notecard with information about your organization and specify your own questions.

___Customizing___

To use your own texture simply open object in EDIT and select a texture under the TEXTURE tab.

You may resize the object as needed.

You may also use your own object if you wish. Simply drag all the scripts and Configuration notecard from object to your inventory and then into your new object.


___Helpful Tips & FAQ's________

TIP: If for some reason you have extra garbage like landmarks or textures in the object inventory, simply choose "Reset" from the Touch menu and it will clean it up. (Don't worry all your existing notecards will remain, only other inventory types will be removed.)

TIP: Use it as a Survey or for Job Applications! From the owner Touch Menu you can select different textures for these, choose the "Texture" button. Rename your information notecard and add your survey or job related questions in it instead of suggestion info. And change the floating text and Object name too!

-- Q. Landmarks, Textures, etc. are not deleted automatically when me or my friend drop them in. Why not?

A. The object owner and anyone with Object Mod rights to the owner's objects are allowed to drop in anything. If others drop in anything other than a note it will be deleted.

-- Q. Why do I get a script error? Is it broken?

A.The script error is probablly telling you that there is no notecard with the name you specified in Configuration. Your basic blank "Suggestion" note must be inside object and must be exact name you put in the Configuration for InstructionsNote=
