9. Typing Coach User Manager in Details

This chapter will cover the features and use of Typing Coach User Manager.

Typing Coach User Manager is a powerful tool for course administrators. It can store personal study data of users recognizing any user on any workstation within the network. With the advanced Manager you can manage users as groups and follow their progress and test scores with a variety of reports that can be created very easily in just a matter of seconds. You can also arrange fully customized typing tests for individuals or one or more groups using texts of your own choice. Typing Coach User Manager gives the course administrator control over the way in which the lessons progress. You can, for example, select the courses to be studied, disable skipping lessons and lock lessons so that they must be completed before the user can move on.

9.1 Main Features

This chapter will introduce you to the main features of Typing Coach User Manager. You will be shown how to create and edit users, organize them into groups and print reports of their progress. The main features of setting typing tests and organizing your licenses are also explained.

Typing Coach User Manager is divided into six main sections: Users, Groups, Courses, Typing Tests, Licenses and Common Settings. Each of these sections can be reached by selecting the appropriate tab. The controls for each section are situated in the menu at the left side of the screen.

DATA SYNC FEATURE: Each student device maintains a small local data folder. All transfers occur automatically when the program starts or closes. No continuous background syncing is performed.

The Teacher Manager Tool shows the student data and global settings locally in teacher's device. Teacher much use SYNC buttons to collect results from the cloud and publish updated configurations back to students.

Sync From Students: This button should be clicked whenever the teacher wishes to receive the most recent information from their students. It is recommended to click this button at least once daily to stay updated with daily data.

Sync To Students: In the event that the teacher makes any changes in the User Manager, it is imperative to click the "Sync to Students" button. Failure to do so will result in the new settings not being sent to the students.

NOTE: After modifying user, group or common settings the users usually need to login again so that the new settings can take effect.

Also some settings require that the user must select the option after the change has been made. For example changing the time allocated for a test, exercise or course will only take effect if the user selects the option after the new time has been set.

9.1.1 Users

When you select the 'Users' tab in Typing Coach User Manager, you will see the users of Typing Coach in an alphabetical list with general information on each user. By default, all users are shown in the list. To view users in a specific group, select the group name from the drop-down list in the user menu. You can also choose to sort user list differently by clicking the corresponding column name.

The list of users shows the following information for each user:

• User name
  
• The group that this user belongs to. The default group for users is 'New Users'.
  
• The name of the course the user is currently studying
  
• Percentage completed of the current course
  
• The date and time Typing Coach was last used
  
• The number of times Typing Coach has been used
  
• The date the user was created
  

• Amount of completed Typing Tests
  

User Menu

The user menu offers many powerful tools for creating new users and editing the settings of old users.

All the options connected to a specific user are gathered under this menu. To modify the properties of a user, select the user from the list of users and then choose the action you wish to modify from the User Menu.

Here is a description of all the options in the user menu with tips for their use.

Choose Group

You can choose the group of users to be listed with this drop-down menu. This helps manage users especially if the userbase is very large.

View & Print Reports

These options let the administrator view and print a variety of reports on the progress of users.

Complete Report	This option creates a complete report on the selected user. The report first displays general information on the user including group name, current course, complete studying time, date of creation and date and time of last usage. This is followed by a detailed summary of all the exercises and tests the user has completed. The type, duration, date and time are shown for each exercise and test. The results of the exercise are also shown where applicable. Click 'close' when you want to return to 'Users' screen. You can also choose the width of the page from the drop-down menu. NOTE: If the exercise name is in brackets, e.g. (1.7) this means that the exercise was not completed in full. The column "Time" shows the time the user has spent on the exercise whilst column "Duration" shows the exercise duration.
Latest Exercises	This option shows the latest completed exercises of the selected user. The report shows a detailed summary of the exercise along with information on the results of the exercise where applicable.
User List	This option creates a report on the selected users. The users are grouped by their studying group and general studying information is displayed for each user.   To select all users in the user list click on the menu option 'Select All' under Edit User(s) or press CTRL-A while in the user list. Individual users can be added to a selection by clicking on a user name with the CTRL key pressed.
Typing Test Details	This option shows the detailed report of the last completed test of the selected user(s). The report shows also the actual test text typed by user with each typing mistake marked clearly to the text. Tip! If you need to see the details of an earlier test, you can open the report from the typing tutor's Typing Test section when the user is logged in.

Here is a description of all the options in the Typing Test menu with tips for their use.

Test Tasks

Change Settings	This option lets you change the name and default time for the selected text. When the time is locked users will not be able to change it in the program. Note that the arranged typing tests (see 4.1.2.) override the default time even if it is locked.
Edit Text	This option will let you edit the selected test.

 

Edit Test

Hide/Show Test	Hides the test from the users. This means it can not be selected from the Test Selection menu when a user takes a test. You can see easily which tests texts are hidden in the Typing Test tab as they have a red line over the document icon. This setting is designed so that you are able to hide any tests you may wish to use to grade the users with. You can then unhide and assign the test at the desired time.
Delete Test	This option will permanently delete the selected Typing Test.
Add Test	Selecting this option will bring up a window where you can choose a text file to be added as a typing test. IMPORTANT: The file that is added has to be a standard ASCII text file without any formatting information. We strongly recommend doing any text additions with Notepad or similar text editor. If you need to use a text created with a word processor, we recommend to first copy-paste it to Notepad and save it as a .TXT file before adding the text the tests.

 

Typing Test Settings

Name	Allows you to edit the name of the test; this is the name that is displayed both in the Manager and to users in the tutor.
Default Time	With this setting you are able to set the time for a test. Set the test duration in minutes by entering a number between 0-99. 0 means there is no time limit for the test. Please only enter whole numbers, decimals and fractions will not be recognized.
Test Time Lock	Enabling this locks the test time to the value specified in the Default Time setting. Without locking the time users can change the time from its default setting before beginning the test.

 

Requirements to Pass the Test

Minimum Net Speed	Sets the minimum net speed needed to pass the test. Only if this limit is reached does the test appear in the users report. Net Speed is the typing speed after error penalties have been calculated.
Minimum Gross Speed	Sets the minimum gross speed needed to pass the test. Only if this limit is reach does the test appear in the users report. Gross Speed is the user's typing speed throughout the test, no penalties are considered.
Minimum Accuracy	Sets the accuracy percentage needed to pass the test. Only if this limit is reached does the test appear in the users report. Accuracy percentage is the ratio of keystrokes after error penalties to all keys typed.
Force Completion	Enabling this means that the user must type for the whole duration of the test for it to be passed. So if the test has been locked to 2 minutes, the user must type for that entire time to ensure they pass the test. If the user types through the entire test text before the time has completed they also meet this requirement.

IMPORTANT: You should not use Minimum Net Speed and Minimum Gross Speed at the same time as these settings can conflict with each other.

NOTE: If passing limits are set for both speed and accuracy then the user must meet them both to pass the test.

Select All	Use this option to select all workstations easily .

 

9.2 Common Settings

The first time you use Typing Coach User Manager will probably be after your server installation if you want to change the installation directory. However, you can control many more settings and options in Common Settings, which shall be explained in this chapter in detail.

Common Settings affect all workstation installations and users.

To access the 'Common Settings' start Typing Coach User Manager and select the tab 'Common Settings'.

NOTE: Pressing 'Cancel' instead of 'Save' undos the changes just made.

NOTE: The settings selected and locked in the Common Settings override the group settings (see 9.1.2).

 

Below is a list of all the settings and some information pertaining to their use.

User Default Settings

With these settings, the administrator is able to enforce a common policy for all users.

NOTE: The default settings can be also locked in order to force all users to have them in use.

 

Language	The typing tutor user interface default language can be defined or locked. The choices are based on add-on languages that were installed with the Setup. If you need additional language later on, you can start Setup again to install additional language(s).
KPM Speed Unit	With this option the administrator can select the default unit for speed measurement. When the option is unselected the default is WPM (Words per Minute) otherwise it is KPM (Keystrokes per Minute) also known as CPM (Characters per Minute). When this value is locked, the speed unit cannot be changed by the user.
Sounds	Select this option to enable sounds in Typing Coach Pro. Sound is not essential for the operation of the program, but it gives additional feedback to the user.
Play Theme	Select this option to enable the opening theme of Typing Coach Pro.
Keyboard Detection	When this option is selected and locked, the program will automatically detect the correct keyboard layout for each workstation installation.   This option is recommended if your network has computers with different keyboard layouts in use and the automatic detection is functioning reliably.
Keyboard Layout	With this option, the administrator can manually select a keyboard layout to be used for all workstation installations of Typing Coach.   This option is recommended if all computers in your network use the same keyboard layout. NOTE: Keyboard Detection has to be de-selected in order for the manual keyboard selection to function.

 

Login Settings

Scroll down the screen to see Login Settings with which the administrator is able to define user login properties.

User Passwords	If this option is selected all users are required to create a password for themselves when logging in for the first time. The password is required each time the user logs in. NOTE: If users are created by an administrator and this option is selected, the administrator has to define a password for the user when creating the user. If a password is not defined, the user will not be able to log in.
Prevent New Users	By selecting this option, you can disable the creation of new users in Typing Coach. With this option selected, the only way of creating new users is with the Manager.
Prevent Self Grouping	By default each new user can pick a group where they belong to during the first logon. You can prevent this behavior with this option.
Hide User List	You can select this option to hide the list of users in the login screen. This results in added security when each user has to know his/her user name to be able to log in.
Hide Group List	With this option, the group menu in the login screen is also suppressed.
Use Windows Login	When this option is selected Typing Coach will automatically log in with the user's Windows user name. This is recommended in environments where each user has a distinct Windows user name. With this option selected the same user name will also be used for Typing Coach.

 

Typing Test Settings

These settings let the administrator restrict user privileges in the typing test section of Typing Coach.

Prevent Test Deletion	When this option is selected, users will not be able to delete tests in the program. This will then be possible only through the Manager.
Prevent New Test	With this option you can prevent users adding custom test texts to the program. With this option selected, adding test texts is possible only through the Manager.
Disable Printing	You can prevent users from printing reports or test diplomas from their workstations. Printing will then be possible only through the Manager.

 

Settings

 

Advanced Settings

Prevent Backspace	This option lets you disable the use of backspace in exercises and tests for all users.   Normally a user is able to make corrections on the word currently being typed. With this option selected the user cannot make any corrections.
WPM Word Length	With this setting it is possible to change how the standard WPM is counted (this affects also the error hits counting). The default value for this setting is 5 (i.e. using 5-keystroke standard word). If you wish to use Business Language WPM setting, the value would be 6. For some European languages, value would be 10.
Disable Internet Links	This setting prevents users from accessing the Internet links on the Info page. By default clicking on these links opens a browser displaying offline information about Typing Coach.
Enable Rhythm Indicator	Activating this displays the Rhythm Indicator. The Rhythm Indicator shows the user how smoothly they type, with emphasis on trying to motivate them to type at an even pace rather than is spurts. The indicator is displayed in the right hand side of the screen during exercises only.
Disable Games from Menu	Hides the games menu from users. Games can still be played if they are embedded as an exercise in a Lesson but the option is removed from the menu so they can no longer be selected independently.
Disable PDF	Prevents users from exporting their progress reports to PDF data format.
Disable Full Screen	Prevents users from enabling the Zoom Full Screen mode that requires DirectX. The Zoom mode changes the display resolution to fixed 800x600.

9.3 Special Features

Typing Coach User Manager offers these special features which give more power to the administrator.

9.3.1 Real Time User Monitoring with Traditional Network Installation

Typing Coach supports real time monitoring of users. The administrator is able to monitor the users' progress while they are studying on their workstations. When the user is studying (or the Satellite is active), a lock will appear on top of the user icon in the user list.

When a user is locked, the administrator will not be able to change user properties or delete the user. The administrator can view a user's progress by selecting a report to be viewed. All exercises and tests that the user has completed will be displayed in the reports.

NOTE: The user list in the Users section of the Manager is updated only when Manager is started or Refresh button is clicked. Therefore, summary information displayed in the user list may not be up to date all the time when users are studying.

To view a user's current status, create a report on the user. This will display up-to-date information on the user.

 

9.3.2 Importing and Exporting users from/to CSV file

You can create new users for Typing Coach User Manager from an existing list. Information such as name, group and password can be taken from any .csv file (i.e. comma separated user list file), usually an Excel or database file. It is possible also to export names and general status of users to Comma Separated File (CSV).

To import users, start Typing Coach user Manager and select File > Import Users. This will bring up a new window.

Import only accepts CSV files so you need have saved the source file in CSV format in advance. To convert an Excel file to a CSV file, save the file again choosing 'File > Save As' and selecting 'CSV (comma delimited)' from the 'Save as Type' drop-down menu. Note that you should delete all heading and title information such as First name, Last name, Class etc., from the source file before importing information to Typing Coach. Otherwise you will have users like "Last name, First name" in the Typing Coach User Manager and need to remove those afterwards.

Once the Import screen is open, the screen is divided in two. The top half, or section 1, is dedicated to choosing the source file from which you want to import user information. Click on 'Open Data Source', browse and select the file you want to import and click on 'Open'. Typing Coach Import tool now shows the contents of the file you chose on the top-right-hand side of the screen as well as in the preview window below it. If you have chosen a wrong file, you can easily change your selection by clicking on 'Open Data Source' and choosing a different file.

The bottom half of the screen, or Section 2, is dedicated to modifying column information and completing the process. First have a look at the Preview window on the right and check that column headings are correct.

The default column headings in the preview window are 'First name', 'Last name', 'Class/Group' and 'Password'. If your source file has listed data in a different order or has more columns, you can now change the column headings accordingly. To change column headings, use the drop-down menus on the left-hand side. They are numbered from 1 to 6 referring to the respective columns in the Preview window and show the heading options from which you can choose. Select the ones that match your table and use 'n/a' if you do not want to import the information from some column(s).

Below the drop-down menus there is a box 'Create the Group/Class if missing', which is checked by default. When checked, the User Manager creates new groups by using the group names you have in the .csv file and places imported users automatically under these groups. If some users do not have group information, the User Manager places them under the default group set in the User Manager (usually 'New Users'). If you uncheck the box, the software tries to assign users to existing groups, but does not create new groups. For example, if in the source file you have some group names and in the User Manager groups with the same name, the software take the users from those groups and place in the matching group in the User Manager. All others users from your .csv file will be entered into the default group in the User Manager. You can then group the imported users manually afterwards with the Manager. Admittedly, the tool is a bit confusing if you uncheck the 'Create the Group/Class if missing'. We'll work on it to make it clearer.

Once everything is set to your satisfaction, click on 'Import Now'. The tool will now enter user information from the .csv file to Typing Coach User List.

Supported CSV Data Formats
This utility supports two most common industrial CSV formats, semicolon and comma separated ones.

1. Semicolon format (without quotes)

Example data:
user name;group;something;something

2. Comma separated list with quotes

Example data:
"user name","school group","anything","something"
The very first line of CSV file is used to detect if semicolon or comma should be used as a separator mark.

For example all the following data formats could be used:
"john smith","class 1","mypassword","+1 322 1239"
"john","smith","class 1","+1 322 1239","mypassword","teacher name"
"smith","john","+1 322 1239","mypassword","teacher name","class 1"
john;smith
john smith;group one

Note: If the new users are not shown on client computers, go to the Common Settings page and click on "Rebuild User Index" link on the left to fix the problem.

9.3.3 Multiple Typing Coach Installations (Traditional Network Installation)

It is possible to use the same Typing Coach User Manager on the administrator's computer to control multiple versions of Typing Coach. This is helpful if you have Typing Coach installed on more than one server.

To control the database of a different installation of Typing Coach you will have to perform the following procedure:

1. Start Typing Coach Manager
   
2. Select File > Change Directory
   
3. The current installation directory of Typing Coach is shown. To edit the database of another Typing Coach installation, enter the complete path of the new directory in the space provided.
   
4. If you do not know the complete path, you can select 'Browse' and choose the installation directory from the directory tree.

 

9.3.4 Maintenance Tasks

From the Common Settings tab, administrator can complete some maintenance tasks.

Resetting scores in games
In school use, it is good to reset the top ten high scores from time to time. You can do this very easily by clicking Erase Game scores button.

Rebuilding Corrupted User Index
If the user list of Typing Coach user login page does not display the all names shown in the Manager for some reason, click the Rebuild User Index button. No data is lost, but the group index files ( .IDX) are created again to solve the problem.
