Core Configuration – Web Platform

After installing ActiveControl in the Domain Controller and satellite systems and doing the associated preparation steps (deploying Web Platform, creation of RFCs etc), ActiveControl now needs to be configured.

The configuration of ActiveControl is performed by authorised ActiveControl Administrator(s) within the Customer organisation, typically working alongside a Basis Technologies solution consultant during the initial implementation project. The ActiveControl Administrator is a hugely important role within a Customer organisation, both during the initial implementation of ActiveControl and also during ongoing maintenance and support of ActiveControl after the initial go-live.

Configuration of ActiveControl is required in two places:

• Web Platform
• SAPGUI

Web Platform Configuration

The majority of ActiveControl configuration is performed within the Web Platform screens. This configuration is performed within the Administration screen that is accessible by authorised ActiveControl Administrators (and users with view [Y_TEUSER]-CONFIG authorisation activity).

The rest of this section of the Administration Guide details the core configuration topics that needs to be performed within the Web Platform front-end:

• Targets
• Transport Paths
• Creating Target/Path workflow
• Target Roles
• Automated Import Schedules
• Groups
• Types
• Custom Fields / Custom Tabs
• Mandatory Fields
• Administrators / Priority Approvers
• Custom Labels
• Business Task Statuses
• Other Configuration Options

*ActiveControl Administration screens are only seen on PC devices. It is by Basis Technologies design that the Administration tiles are not seen on mobile devices due to the complexity of some of the screens.
