Planning Enterprise Services Installation and Administration Guide 57 3 Configuring Enterprise Services Validating the Configuration Manager Settings Validating the Configuration Manager Settings When you have completed all of the settings necessary for your system as described in this chapter, the final step is to perform a validation of these settings. To do this, perform the following steps: 1. From the menu bar, choose Validation > Validate Document. You may see a number of messages in the Validation pane. Double-click on each message to automatically navigate to the entry requiring attention. The following example shows an error message related to a missing Server Temporary File Location setting: In most cases, the Validation routine is only checking whether a required setting has been completed, and whether it is in an appropriate format.

Enabling Workbooks for Use in Web Access Options For a user to be able to open a workbook in Web Forms or Web Interactive, the workbook must meet two criteria: 1. The workbook must be within the user's access rights as defined in the Plan Filter of the Security Settings of the Professional Edition. The workbook must be flagged as enabled for the particular access option from within the Professional Edition.
