1) OVERVIEW
This chapter provides you with following overviews:
VeriShow Account Administration
VeriShow Featured Applications
VeriShow Software Prerequisites
Content Management
o VeriShow Content Libraries
Pre-load files into server based libraries for quick and easy access. This will
shorten the time required for loading files during the online session and the
customers will experience a more seamless presentation. The libraries are
categorized into different groups: Documents, images, videos and
bookmarks.
o Account Content vs. Personal Content
Content refers to various types of document that can be uploaded into your
VeriShow account and easily accessed within online sessions.
The Account admin has no personal content; all admin content is
visible to all account reps.
Company Reps can manage account content related to their work.
This content is viewed by their eyes only and cannot be viewed by
other company Reps. During online session Reps can access
____________________________________________________________________________________________Verishow
User Guide Page 5
company common content uploaded by account admin in addition to
their own content.
o Bulk Imports of Document, Images & Bookmarks
This prototype allows the company to upload access to company
documentation. For example: access large catalogs of images that are
stored on company servers that can be shared with customers. This is
currently is a service provided by HBR Labs to its VeriShow Corporate
Customers. Please contact us for the XML template to use.
Forms Management
VeriShow provides a collaboration platform for filling application forms together.
These application forms can be managed on the company level and on the
Customer Rep level. The latter refers to a personal relationship between a rep
and a specific customer and the forms they have filled out together. VeriShow
allows you to
o Manage a forms library - The library can consist of form templates and forms,
forms and filled content (this refers to form templates empty This can be maintained
on the company or customer level.
o Upload Electronic PDF forms – these are automatically converted into a format
that can be used within VeriShow
o Modify existing forms – edit fields in existing form templates
o Pre-filling forms – Save time by sending customers forms to pre-fill prior to
collaboration in an online session
o Collaboratively Fill forms together with your customers and add electronic
signatures where required
Communication methods
Your communication methods define how you contact your customers or they
contact you.
o A company rep can directly contact a customer and invite them to join an online
session. This is done by sending them a link to click on. Once clicked they will
automatically enter the online session
o Customers can initiate an online session by clicking on the VeriShow Call
Button that you may embed in your website. This may trigger one of the following
processes:
If your company has implemented a Call Center to “take calls” they
will be able to monitor all incoming requests and answer on a 1st
come 1st serve basis
Another option is to have your company reps start online sessions
and await incoming requests. When your customer/site-visitor clicks
on the embedded call button they are automatically directed into
one of these online sessions. If all reps are busy they are
o Monitor Activity
o Monitor Session Activity - Account Admins and Customer Reps can
monitor session activity. The logs display which Company Reps host the
online meeting and the session duration. Account Admins access all
company historical data whereas the Company Reps may access only their
personal historical information
____________________________________________________________________________________________Verishow
User Guide Page 6
o VeriShow off-hours correspondence - is managed within the VeriShow
Inbox. Customers seeking assistance during off-hours are prompted to fill in
an off-hours form; this form appears in the Account Admin’s and the specific
Account Reps Inbox.
o Monitor Incoming Requests / Calls (for call center implementations) –
Live Reps can monitor incoming requests (as a results of the site-visitor
clicking on the embedded call button) and join online sessions as they are
queued in.
o Monitor Billing Activity (Account Admins only) - view the account billing
information, change the number of seats that have been purchased and
update the credit card info

WEBSITE
VeriShow Integration and Setup Steps
The following table contains suggested steps for the successful integration of
VeriShow within your website and your business process.
____________________________________________________________________________________________Verishow
User Guide Page 11
Embedding the VeriShow Call Button in your
website
It is most probable that you have already performed the 1st stage of the embedding
process when running the Self Registration Wizard. You selected the look & feel of
your call button and where it is to be located on your web page; we then provided
you with the html code that you will need to embed (cut and paste) into your web
page. All that’s left now is to edit your html code and embed the code. Click on the
Embed Call Button menu option to see where to paste the code.
The following is a detailed description of the embedding process:
Embedding types
VeriShow.com supports several types of embedding for the Call button on your
company’s site. The VeriShow Call button characteristics are described below. The
result of your embedding will be a combination of the different parameters you
select.
Embed Call Button
Selecting this menu option displays the following:
The html code you are required to embed in your website in order to provide a
direct call button for your customers
Instructions on where to locate (cut and paste) the code within your site
The following describe the parameters that will impact your embedding results and
therefore require your attention:
Internal Request Queue – when the customer clicks on the call button, they
are prompted to wait for a host to join the session. The Live Reps monitor the
____________________________________________________________________________________________Verishow
User Guide Page 12
Account Activity>Incoming Request queue and join sessions as they queue
in. See Incoming Request Queue.
Rep’s Availability
The VeriShow call button’s appearance on the web page can be linked to your Rep’s
availability.
Note: This option is not available for free accounts
____________________________________________________________________________________________Verishow

ask an expert to join (not available on free accounts)
• Embedding Type – under what circumstances does the button appear (not
available on free accounts
Once these have been selected the screen is refreshed and the corresponding
html code, that is to be added to your web page, is displayed. Cut and paste the
code as directed.

Queued Sessions - Site Visitors Initiate a Session – Special
attributes
You can direct a site visitor to a specific Live Rep and start the session with a loaded
application – for example start the session and upload a form that will be filled. The
host will join the session and work can commence immediately.
The format of the link is as follows:
https://www.verishow.com/client/customer_session.jsf?aac=XXX&ac=XXX
&app=XXX&_fileFromURL=http://XXX.pdf&msg=XXX&c=XXX&name=XXX
aac (required) – This ID connects the incoming session to a general account –
any reps can take the call.
ac - It is the Live Rep’s ID that should host the session.
Note: both aac and ac can be derived from the Invitation Direct Link
msg (required) - message to be shown when the customer enters the session
app – Session should load with a chosen application. This parameter should be
used when the host wants the customer to have a “head start” and already
access an application, whilst waiting for the host to join the session. For
example upload a document or form for the customer to read/fill. Any
application defined in the appsMenu.xml as “appid =” can be automatically
started in the session.
_fileFromURL – if the session is started with Open Document (doc) or Open
Form(form) applications this url should point to the document that is to be
uploaded the initial document URL (the case of document or form as a start app)
c - indicates if a customer gets control when the session starts - optional, default
is false
name – The customer name can be embedded within the link. When so the
customer is not prompted to enter his name in the popup box
save_url – If the customer wants Filled Forms saved on his local server, this
url should point to the server
If you require your Call Button to appear on multiple web pages you must cut
and paste the html code that is displayed, on each individual page.
You can embed a different call button on different pages (for example use a
different color or different position based on the page content). Change the above
criteria and cut the corresponding html code for each button.

When starting an online session your Audio/Video window is populated with your
Personal Profile photo. This is replaced with your video stream once your video has
started.
Chat Window
In addition to audio/video you also have chat capabilities. Your chat includes a Chat
Translator menu option to have a multi-lingual online text chat via a real-time

____________________________________________________________________________________________Verishow
User Guide Page 20
Setting up your Audio/Video
Select the broadcasting method/s you wish to activate in the session: audio, video
or both; and click on the Start button. Note: Audio usage requires a headset.
Without the use of a headset, audio quality is severely impaired.
How do you utilize Audio/Video in your online session?
Video quality
Your video quality has been defaulted to Basic (low bandwidth). This is sufficient
for most video communication. If you know for certain that you and your
participants will both have high bandwidth then your video quality can be adjusted.
Note: Selecting Good quality impacts your data upstream. Uploading large
documents may require the greater part of your bandwidth and severely impair
your video broadcast. We suggest you lower your video quality or turn off your
video, until uploading files has finished.
Webinar mode
This mode of video should be used when the session is not of an interactive nature
but more of a training/teaching/presentation nature. In webinar mode participants
are not active during the session. The host may decide to open the session for
questions, to do so webinar mode should be turned off.
Video Call
Your default settings are to start both your audio and video broadcast in the
session. Click on to start your video transmission the call. You will be prompted to
select your camera and allow the Adobe Flash Player access to your selected
camera (this is only required once per session).
____________________________________________________________________________________________Verishow
User Guide Page 21
Note: when utilizing video /audio transmission the audio transmission takes
preference over the video transmission. This means that if your bandwidth is not
wide enough to support both video and audio, it is likely that your audio quality will
remain good, whilst your video quality may freeze or seem slightly unstable. This
is expected and should not worry you.
Audio Call
Make sure is ticked and select Audio Settings. You are required to allow
the Adobe Flash Player access to your microphone to support audio transmission
(this is required only once per session).
Click allow to start audio transmit To end the broadcast click
stop

facilitate their placement over a page. This allows a teacher, lecturer or presenter to write on a sheet of
paper or to display a two or three-dimensional object while the audience watches.
Document cameras are typically used in classrooms or scientific presentations and connected to video
projectors. They replaced overhead projectors, which were formerly used for this purpose. Most
document cameras can also send a video signal to a computer via USB cable. More commonly these
days document cameras will also be connected to an interactive whiteboard (like a Smartboard,
Activboard or other brands)instead of a standard screen.
Many portable document cameras incorporate a flexible gooseneck design for ease of use, and some are
capable of high-definition display. High-definition document cameras include an HDMI output port.
Most document cameras can also be supplied with an accessory so that they can be used with a
microscope.
Visit The Visualiser Forum http://www.visualiserforum.org
As of 2008, the most economical document cameras capture XGA resolution images of 1024×768
pixels. Document cameras that capture SXGA images capture a resolution of 1280×1024 which equates
to 66% more pixels than XGA images. Higher resolution images contain more (smaller) pixels and
provide sharper detail. UXGA is considered high-definition and equates to 1920×1080 pixels.
