Getting Started for Administrators |
BarTender is fully functional when you install it, but you can customize many of its configuration settings to optimize the use of the application in your printing environment. As an administrator of BarTender, you are responsible for managing licensing, configuring application settings, and monitoring BarTender's performance. Essentially, it is up to you to customize BarTender in a way that matches the needs of your company. This section was written to help you locate the different administrative settings and intelligently set up BarTender for your printing environment.
Configuring Document and Application Security
Whether you're a small business or a large organization, protecting your BarTender documents from unauthorized modification and printing is important. Your needs may be as simple as preventing accidental design changes by inexperienced users or as complex as requiring document encryption. BarTender can do it all.
Managing Your Automation License
For the Automation editions, you may need to configure, monitor, or test BarTender's connection to Seagull License Server (SLS). Learn how to configure SLS by identifying the server where it is installed and the port it uses for communications with BarTender.
Setting Up the BarTender System Database
For the Automation editions, application files can be stored in the BarTender System Database. Learn how to create and maintain your database.
BarTender can record the messages that it encounters to a text file or to the BarTender System Database, including the message contents, the time it occurred, and the computer on which BarTender was running at the time. Learn how to enable logging of application messages, so that you can easily monitor and audit BarTender's performance.
By using the Alert Setup dialog, you can have email notifications delivered to your inbox that notify you of any errors that occur in BarTender.
Change BarTender's user interface to one of 23 supported languages from around the world.
Setting Default File Locations
Specify where BarTender will store application-specific files and set the default directories where BarTender will save and retrieve documents, scripts, and images. With the Enterprise Automation edition of BarTender, you can use Librarian (one of the Companion Applications) for secure file storage and revision control.
