About Product Configuration

Explains the customization of settings for individual products in a deployment.

When you create a deployment, you can accept the default settings for any product you choose to install, or you can configure these settings to create a custom deployment. Configuration details for products are covered in product supplements to Installation Help. It is recommended that you review these supplements, and determine the right settings for each product in your deployment.

To configure product settings, on the Create Deployment page of the installer, ensure that the product is selected for installation, and then click the product in the scrolling list. The configuration panel opens.

Important: The configuration settings you choose apply to every instance of the product installed from the deployment. After the deployment is created, these settings can be changed only by modifying the deployment.

Most products allow you to choose an installation type, either Typical to select the most common options, or Custom to review options in more detail.

Some other common product settings are as follows:

• User preferences for product behavior
• Installation of support files, such as material libraries
• Access to online resources
