OVERVIEW
This article details instructions about how to use Configuration Mode.
Configuration Mode allows a Module Configurator to place a module in a state that temporarily disables it to front-end users whilst Module Configurators can make changes to the module. The module then becomes not accessible except to Module Configurators and the Processing Team.
In the case of Custom Modules, any submissions whilst the config mode is enabled can be permanently deleted i.e. data won’t be available in the reportable dataset.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Log in to your Lighthouse instance.
2. In the top menu bar, select the ‘System Administration’.
3. Under ‘System Administration’, locate ‘System Settings’ and select ‘License and Modules’.
Option ONE for turning ON Config Mode:
1. Once in ‘License and Modules’ select the module you would like to view in Config Mode by clicking on the ‘Config Mode’ icon.
2. After turning on Config Mode the status will change to ‘Config Mode’ and appear yellow (this means it’s active)
3. Click on the ‘Settings Cog’ to use Config Mode.
Option TWO for turning ON Config Mode:
1. Once in ‘License and Modules’ select the ‘Settings Cog’ on your module.
2. Once in Settings, scroll to the bottom of the page until you see ‘Config Mode’, turn it on and click ‘Save’ at the top of the screen.
When ‘Config Mode’ mode is active, there will be a yellow bar at the bottom of the screen, this is to tell you that ‘Config Mode’ is being used.
While ‘Config Mode’ is being used, any tiles set to display on the Dashboard will NOT be seen. Users not in the module configuration group or Processing Team will be unable to interact with the module while Config Mode is active.
How to Use Config Mode:
1. To create a new module while using Config Mode, click on the ‘Create New Form’ option at the top of the page.
2. Fill out the module as normal and click the ‘Submit’ button at the bottom of the page to complete the module.
3. (Optional) After completing the module and you’re satisfied with it, before going back into ‘Live Mode’ you can remove all of the dummy data that was captured during ‘Config Mode’.
4. To do this, go back to the ‘Settings’ page and use the arrows in the bar to navigate across to the ‘Meta’ tab, (not everyone has this, only trained Lighthouse Keepers will have access to this. For more information, contact us at helpdesk@lighthousegrc.software).
5. Click on the option ‘Wipe 1 Sandbox Records’ and click ‘Ok’ to proceed.
6. Once this is complete, all of the dummy data capture in ‘Config Mode’ will be removed.
