Tools

The Tools menu in Installation Manager provides tiles to access the following options:

  • Log

    The log screen displays exceptions and error messages that occurred during the installation of a product. The log screen is used by Installation Manager and not one particular product that is being installed. Installation Manager application logs are written to C:\logs. Logs for the products that are installed with Installation Manager are written to different folders. For example, CampusNexus CRM logs are written to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Talisma Shared\SetupLog.

  • Export Settings

    This option enables you to copy all configuration settings of Installation Manager to a ZIP file.

  • Import Settings

    This option restored the configuration settings of Installation Manager from a previously exported ZIP file.
