Tips and Best Practices #
- Log Out When Done: Use Home > Exit to close ConMan securely.
- Keep Credentials Safe: Don’t share your username or password.
- Check the Status Bar: Verify you’re logged in as the correct user.
- Use Tiles for Quick Access: Tiles are faster than the toolbar for frequent tasks.
- Export Regularly: Save grid data to Excel for backups or reporting.
Troubleshooting #
- Can’t Log In: Double-check your username and password. Ensure caps lock is off. Contact your administrator if locked out.
- Tiles Don’t Respond: Ensure you’re fully logged in (check the status bar). Restart ConMan if needed.
- Export Fails: Verify you have permission to save files in the chosen location.
- Window Looks Off: ConMan opens maximized by default; avoid resizing unless necessary.
