Wizards
Wizards are assistants that help users carry out a task by guiding them through the corresponding activities of a program step by step. This means that even users with limited experience, at least when it comes to the standard tasks of the program, can use Across effectively in a short amount of time. If you would like to work productively without investing much time up front, you should use the Wizards to guide you through the task you would like to perform.
One of these wizards is for example the Project Wizard which guides you through the project setup quickly and easily.
In order to give you an overview of your options, all Wizards are listed in what follows.
