Running the Configurator

Where to run the Configurator

Calmview is designed to be customised on an internal server (not accessible to the public, for example inside your firewall) prior to its transfer to a live web server. Much of the configuration of Calmview is done using the Configurator. The Configurator will be installed automatically when you install Calmview.

Working with IIS

Whilst you are running the Calmview configurator a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) session is running. It is advisable to save changes on each page of the configurator as you make them, as IIS will automatically time out a session if there is no activity and this could lead to you losing unsaved changes.

Getting started

To run the Configurator: Open a browser and enter the following URL

http://localhost/CalmViewConfig

The initial screen will appear, an example is shown here. Please note: the example screen will open a new window, when you have finished and wish to return to this page, use the cross in the top right corner to close the window.

Using the Configurator

The Calmview settings which can be customised using the Configurator are divided into the following categories; DataSource, Themes, Images, Showcases and Pages. These are shown as headings on the left hand side of the Configurator. Click on a category to expand the branches below it, this displays the settings and enables you to make changes to them.

The next sections of this guide will explain the settings available under each heading and how they affect Calmview. Please note: Before making any customisations you must first select a theme.
