What is the Configuration Manager? How do I access it?

The Configuration Manager application is for managing users, resetting passwords, and unlocking accounts.   Only agency administrators have access to it.

Creating a Shortcut

You may create a shortcut to the Configuration Manager in one of two ways.

1. Search for TraCS Configuration Manager in Windows and then Pin to Start and/or Pin to Taskbar

2. Go to this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\TraCS

Find the file called Configuration Manager.exe
Right click and Send To - Desktop (create shortcut)

The log in credentials for the Configuration Manager are the same as the ones you use for the TraCS application.

Getting Updates

If you are an agency administrator who does not normally log into the TraCS application, you should launch TraCS every so often to see whether there are any updates.   This ensures that you get any updates or fixes for the Configuration Manager.

You will not get updates by launching the Configuration Manager.   You must launch TraCS to get them.

If there are updates, you will get a prompt.   Press yes and let updates run then close out of the launch screen.   You don't need to log into the TraCS application.   Once updates run, you may launch the Configuration Manager and log in.

If you do not get an update prompt, that means there are no updates. Close out of the launch screen and log into the Configuration Manager.
