2. Enter your account ID, user name and password as provided to you by email after purchase or registration. Note: if you are still using the web version and haven’t received an email message showing your Account ID, you can find your Account ID on your PlanogramBuilder Web application login page.

3. Click on Login.

Note: You still need to be connected to Internet when using PlanogramBuilder since the database is online and most functions work with dynamic aspx web content.

AccountID

This parameter lets you predefine an account ID to use when launching PlanogramBuilder. This option is useful mostly if you use several distinct PlanogramBuilder account IDs. You can create several copies of PlanogramBuilder shortcut and assign a different account ID to each shortcut, so you will be able to launch directly with the desired account.

Value: any account ID can be used as value for this parameter.

Format: /AccountID=value

Example: PlanogramBuilder.exe /accountID=goodcompany_ihrpz437

Note: The AccountID parameter name is not case sensitive.

 

To enter or edit the parameter, do as follows:

1. Right-click on the PlanogramBuilder shortcut.
2. In the context menu, click Properties.
3. In Properties > Shortcut > Target, type the parameter after the application path.

4. Click OK to save your changes.
5. Now click on the shortcut icon to start PlanogramBuilder using your parameter.
