The Ares Customization Manager Setup Wizards will guide you through the required information needed to implement Ares. The Ares Customization Manager contains five Setup Wizards that will help you configure various Ares components. The Ares Setup Wizards are the Contact Info wizard, the System Setup wizard, the Policies wizard, the SMTP wizard, and the Web Interface wizard.
- In the Ares Customization Manager, click on Setup Wizards to see a list of the different wizards.
- Select the Setup Wizard you would like to use. The Wizard will open and you will see navigation arrows.
- Navigate through the customization keys using the Forward and Back buttons. You can also use the First and Last buttons to start at the beginning or go to the end.
- Once you have finished editing in the Setup Wizard, click the Close button to exit.
When using the setup wizard, you must move through the setup with the wizard navigation buttons, as the Customization tree will not be active. The Search and Favorites controls on the Home page will also not be active. Because the customization manager retains the progress you've made in the setup wizard, you can close the wizard or the customization manager before completely customizing a feature. The next time you open the wizard for that feature, it will resume at the location where you previously stopped.
