3​. Customize your InTouch installation

The Operations Control Configurator allows you to deploy the various components of System Platform and related products and to configure the settings for each component. It is available at the end of the product installation process. For more information, see Operations Control Configurator online help.

Note: You must have administrative rights to use the Configurator.

The Configurator utility includes a product tree that lists all installed product components that require post-installation configuration. It has a set of pages that can be accessed via a directory to the left of the interface.

About the Configurator

The Configurator composition is dynamic whereas the Configurator help is meant to be comprehensive. Configurator product pages and individual plugins documented in the Configurator help might not match the Configurator as it appears for your specific product installation. You likely will see help topics about products or components you have not installed. The Configurator itself will reflect the as-installed products.

The following describes the dynamic nature of Configurator behaviors:

• Components available in the Configurator depend upon the products installed on your system and available for configuration.

• Interdependencies among product pages and individual plugins will also affect the state of components in the Configurator.

• Configuring an interdependent plug-in might not automatically change the dependent plug ins. This means that the status indicators - green (valid configuration), blue or yellow (invalid or re-configuration needed) - might not automatically update.

• In some cases, dependent components might automatically update but could still require user interaction with the tree item of the component or plug-in to update the status indicator.
