Until you have initialized an InterAction database, no login dialog box appears when you open InterAction Administrator. When you initialize an InterAction database, you define the account name and password for the system administrator user. By default, this account name is IAADMIN. After an InterAction database is initialized, only authorized users can run InterAction Administrator.
You can give other users permission to log on to InterAction Administrator. For more information, see Managing the List of InterAction Administrator Users.
Using InterAction Administrator
InterAction Administrator lists all entities you can edit in the main entity window. Entities include items such as the database, system data, page setups, and system services. If you have licensed a Related Module, a configuration entity appears as well. In the figure below, Opportunity Configuration is listed.
Main Entity Window in Administrator
In general, to edit an entity (for instance, create global additional field definitions), you can do either of the following:
- Select the entity in the list and choose Administer > Entity
- Double-click the entity in the list
Many administrative tasks are performed in InterAction Administrator including managing user accounts and groups, scheduling automated server processes, and defining startup rules.
