Using the InfoMaker Config Tool

The process itself is very succinct, but there are several steps to it. You'll find a brief overview below followed by a step by step explanation with screen shots.

If you are just looking for a reminder on how to do this, here it is: 

  1. Open InfoMaker (this creates a new IM.ini file)
  2. Close InfoMaker
  3. Open the InfoMaker Configuration Tool
  4. Apply all settings
  5. Map the databases
  6. Apply any remaining settings (these last 3 steps configure that IM.ini file)
  7. Re-open InfoMaker
  8. Login with your Appeon Account if you haven't yet.

Now to the Step by Step:

  1. Open InfoMaker
    • To do so, click on your Start Menu and scroll down to the W section, and expand the "Wartburg RemoteApps (RADC)" folder
