Global Settings

The Global Settings screen contains the Windows Admin user name password used when starting a CampusNexus Student installation. Users can also test this information without moving from the screen.

Important: Information on all Installation Manager screens is not saved until you exit the screen by clicking or by clicking another component on the navigation menu.

Specify the Global Settings
