Chapter 4:
FotoWare Administration Console
The Administration Console provides a functional, intuitive way of configuring the program to work the
way you want.
By expanding the Color Factory branch, all program settings are hierarchically arranged below. As you
can see, channels may be grouped (only one group has been created in the screenshot above). This makes
it possible to make modifications to a group’s settings and apply the change to all channels within. Global
or channel-specific purging may be configured separately; the same goes for error handling preferences.
Administration console menus
At the top of the Administration Console are four menus.
File menu – From the File menu you may save the configuration and exit the program. When the
configuration has been changed, a notification is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the
Administration console program window, and you will be asked if you want to save your changes when
exiting the Admin Console. You must remember to save your changes using Save Configuration on the
File menu before they will be effective in the processing channels.
Color Factory menu – Here you may create new channels and channel groups. Also, you may start and
stop the Color Factory system service. When you save changes to the configuration Color Factory will
automatically restart the required services to load the new configuration file.
Log Server menu – The Log Server menu lets you manually start or stop the log server system service.
Help menu – The help menu allows access to program information such as version and build number. It
also lets you activate optional program components such as SmartColor™ and SmartClean™ filters.
If you need to move Color Factory to another server you must remember to deactivate it before it can be
reactivated on the new server computer. This can be done by choosing Deactivate… on the Help menu.
