Project Wizard Step 6–Other Options

This step allows you to configure some system-wide options for FootPrints. These options apply to the first project and all subsequent projects, although most can be changed per project or user, as noted.

Note

This step is only available the first time you setup FootPrints.

Cookies—Cookies allow FootPrints to remember a user’s ID and password. If this option is enabled, all users will see a checkbox on the login screen that, if checked, will bypass the login screen when they access FootPrints with their local browser. This cookie will contain their FootPrints ID and a unique cookie ID, which will expire in 3 years. This option applies to the whole system.

Note

Because this option poses a security risk (anyone can log in as that user if they have access to the user's machine), do not enable Cookies if security is an issue for your organization. Also, if many of your users access FootPrints from public or shared terminals, do not use Cookies.

Record Names—The terms entered here are used throughout FootPrints. Terms can be specified for both Issue database records, and the Contact records in the Address Book. These names can also be changed per project.
Date Format—This option determines how dates are represented throughout FootPrints. Users can also set a personal preference for dates. The options are:
American—MM/DD/YYYY
European—DD/MM/YYYY
ISO—YYYY/MM/DD
Logo—This is the logo that will appear on the FootPrints login screen and in the top-left corner of each screen. You can keep the FootPrints logo, or upload your own logo. The image's size should not be larger than 180x68 pixels.

To upload your logo:

Click the Attach File button.
Browse your local machine or network drive for the logo. The image's size should not be larger than 180x68 pixels (a .GIF file is recommended).
When you have selected the file, click Open. The file is copied to FootPrints. A message that the file was copied successfully is shown in the attachment box on the screen.
The logo, when displayed in the top-left corner in FootPrints, can optionally be a hypertext link. You can select Yes or No for this option.
If Yes is selected, enter a URL for the hypertext link.

By default, when you have completed the Project Setup, the Add Agents setup page is displayed, allowing you to add agents to your newly created project immediately. If you selected the FootPrints Customer Service template, you are given the option to refresh to either the Customer Service Portal setup page or to the Add Agents page.

You have completed the Project Setup Wizard! Click the Complete button to finish. You are now on the FootPrints Homepage. Go on to the next section, Configuration and Administration, to learn more about FootPrints configuration and administration, or browse the Online Help for other topics. You can return to the Help at any time by selecting Help from the FootPrints Toolbar, or clicking the Help icon found throughout FootPrints.
