To open the AP:Administration form

2. Open the AP:Administration form by using the link on the default AR System Home Page form.
   If you do not see a link on AR System Home Page, in a browser, enter the following URL and press Enter:
   http://<hostName>/arsys/forms/<serverName>/AP:Administration
   hostName is the name of the web server, and serverName is the name of the AR System server.

This section only describes how to use the following items on the AP:Administration form:

• Administrator tab — This tab enables you to create and configure process administrators. See Configuring process administrator capabilities.

• Server settings link — This link enables you to configure approval server logging, and customize other settings.

  Important

  This form shows the local level value of the configuration. If a local value does not exist, the form displays the global level configuration.
  If you modify the value on this form, the local level configuration value is modified.

  For example, if a configuration shows global level value and you modify the value by using this form, the local level value gets created for the configuration.

  For more information about global and local level configurations, see Managing AR Server Group components by setting global-level and local-level configurations
