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 can manage licensing, configure application settings, monitor how BarTender performs, and generally customize BarTender in a way that matches the needs of your company. This section helps you locate the different administrative settings so that you can set up BarTender for your printing environment.
Managing the BarTender Licensing Service
Each installation of BarTender must be able to communicate with the BarTender Licensing Service (BLS), which monitors printer usage and enforces licensing based on your purchased edition of the BarTender software. Learn how to access the property pages to configure BLS and monitor license use.
Setting Up the BarTender System Database
Application files can be stored in the BarTender System Database. Learn how to create and maintain your database.
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.
Change the language of the BarTender user interface to one of 21 supported languages from around the world.
Managing BarTender Files and Folders
Specify where BarTender stores application-specific files and set the default directories where BarTender saves and retrieves documents, scripts, and images.
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 how BarTender performs.
By using the Alert Setup dialog, you can configure an email alert message to be sent when any errors occur in BarTender.
