3.1 Defining the Outer Structures and Raw Data Paths

When first started, the utility will begin the configuration process. This is initiated when the ``FrontGlobals'' table is empty so you can restart the whole process by deleting the content of this table.

 
Figure 3.2: AnyFront Configuration Start Form

After specification of the paths for content spreadsheets and general attributes, you're automatically taken to the configuration of the outer structure of the Catalog. You should inspect each of the elements to the left of the form to cause them to be set properly, but you don't need to alter them on a first installation.

If you are installing the sample, simply visit each of the left hand buttons to complete the structuring and make sure you set the data paths to the location where you placed the sample data.
