Configuring Applications

The first step is to enter into Aware IM the instructions on how the application should work, in other words to configure the application. To do that:

1. Start the Configuration Tool.
   
   You can start the Configuration Tool by clicking on the “Start Configurator” button at the top of Aware IM Control Panel. When the Configuration Tool prompts you to enter credentials, enter the name of your application that you specified when running the Aware IM Control Panel for the first time. Enter admin as user name and then enter the word password as the initial password.
   
   The left-side panel of the Configuration Tool shows the configuration elements tree (see the “Configuration Tool Overview” section). The tree shows the default business space with the name you specified and the two business space versions (1.0 and 1.1). Version 1.1 one is ready to be modified. All the configuration work will be done in this version – this will include configuration of the application, testing the application and then making it operational (see the Business Space Versions and Version Control for details on working with business space versions).
   
   
2. Create configuration elements of your application in the new version
   
   Create business objects, rules, queries, processes, documents, notifications and other elements that make up the configuration of your application inside the business space version 1.1. See the “Overview of the Configuration Tool” section for details.
   
   Alternatively you can import an existing configuration into the business space version. To do this, select version 1.1 in the tree and then select “Version/Import” from the application menu (or right-click and select “Import” from the pop-up menu). For example, you can import one of the sample applications located in the samples directory of your Aware IM installation.
