Configure Global Dashboard To configure the central site 1. Launch the Central Configuration wizard and click Next to start. The screen to provide the path and port information for the central site appears. 2. Specify the path for the central site database. (This will be the database location where the dashboard-related data from each branch site will be uploaded to and stored). Note: If a remote database is used as the ASDB of the Central Primary Server, the database path must be an existing path at the remote machine or else the configuration may fail. 3. Specify the input port number. This will be the port number for each Branch Primary Server to access the Central Primary Server. By default, the Port number is 18001, but can be changed from this screen. 218 Implementation Guide
