Guided Setup Wizard

This utility is comprised of a Guide Toolbar and a series of windows designed to direct you through the initial setup process.

Figure 8. Guided Setup Wizard

The Guided Setup Wizard serves as a checklist and navigation aid. It directs you to the proper screen for setting up your system. It does not assign any values or configure properties automatically for you. For example, on initial setup, you are directed to the Access Device Manager view in step three of the Guided Setup Wizard. If no modules are in your database, you must discover and add modules, as required, before proceeding. As you complete each step and save changes, re-open the wizard and note that the step is completed. If you have questions about the setup process or any of the properties, refer to the procedures in this section.

As you complete each step of the setup, Step Indicator buttons change color to indicate the status of the step relative to the completion of the Guided Setup Wizard.

You can cancel the Guided Setup Wizard at any time by using one of the following three methods.

Click the Guide button and select the Skip Guided Setup option in the Guided Setup Welcome window.
In the final step, select the ...Completed option and click Ok.
Set the Show Guided Tour property to true (to display) or to false (to hide) the Guided Setup Wizard and Guide Toolbar. This property is located here:
- Supervisor: System Setup > Miscellaneous > Server Maintenance
- Controller: System Setup > Miscellaneous > Controller Maintenance

Each step of the wizard process is tracked by monitoring its status. Each step may be in one of the following four states:

Next required step
Since the steps must be accomplished in a sequential order, only one step is available at any point during the Guided Setup Wizard process. The Guide toolbar indicates the next required step by the white color of the step indicator button.
Step initiated but not complete
The system initiates a step when you access a view Guide window. The step indicator button turns yellow when the step is initiated and stays yellow until the “...Completed” option is selected from the associated Guide window.
Step completed
Completed steps display as green step indicator buttons. A step must be completed before you can go to the next step.

NOTE: A step is completed when you select the ...Completed option in the associated step window. There is no programmatic verification that you performed a step.
Step not available
A step is unavailable until you complete the previous step. The step indicator button displays as gray (or dimmed) when the step is not available.
