The key settings that define the behavior of Object Manager Advanced are located in Object Manager Setup.
Setup Initialization
To begin using Object Manager Advanced, you need to initialize its setup, providing default settings (statuses, project flows, etc.). Depending on the type of database where you installed Object Manager Advanced the setup can be set up with a different collection of settings. To define the setup, open the Object Manager Setup window: go to Departments > Object Manager > Setup, then click Object Manager Setup.

Default Settings
Object Manager tries to find the best settings suited for your environment. It looks e.g. in the CustomSettings.config for your database settings, checks the program files folder for the best-installed executables and it reads the register to see if Navgate is installed.
