Auto-Update Settings

The Automatic Updates option is used to specify if you want to use Automatic Updates with IndySoft. By using this function, Administrators can automatically push out IndySoft software updates by distributing CAB files provided by IndySoft. Updates can be pushed to the update file using HTTP or UNC paths. To modify the Automatic Update settings, go to Home View, click Preferences hyperlink (under Config & Admin), and then select 'Auto-Update Settings...' as below:

Automatic Single-User Configuration Updates

This functionality works just like automatic updates for the client but is related instead to the automatic update of database configuration (i.e., workflow settings, custom layouts, etc.). The single-user configuration export used for this process is created from the Export/Import Module in the Single-User version. See Single-User Auto Configuration Updates - Summary for more details.

Enable Web Update (uses HTTP)

If this option is used, you should specify the HTTP location of your single-user configuration file.

Enable File Update - UNC path
