Custom configuration

After you have configured your system for standard operation, you can continue to customize your configuration. Some of the custom configuration information depends on other existing information that is already being in place. For this reason, use the Standard Configuration tab to perform as much of the configuration as you can. Then, use the Custom Configuration tab described in this section to complete configuration tasks you cannot complete within the Standard Configuration tab, such as providing configuration information for the BMC Remedy ITSM Suite applications. The Custom Configuration tab on the Application Administration Console provides access to all of the forms that you can use to configure BMC Remedy ITSM Suite.

The following table describes the steps for a custom configuration. Depending on the applications that you have installed, all steps might not be applicable or required.
