Setup Wizard Overview

When you run the Data Collector for the first time, the Setup Wizard will run to guide you through the process of creating a new database and also in setting up the logging options.

Security settings

wizard_02  
 
Crunch Time creates an encrypted database to store all logged information in. You will need to enter a password, which will then be used to encrypt the data.  
 

Log frequency

wizard_03  
 
Enter how frequent the Data Collector should log your desktop activity.  
 
 
Screen captures
 
wizard_04  
 
If you want to also capture screenshots of your desktop activity, select the Capture screenshots item. You can choose to store only the screenshot of the active window, or the active window and its parent window when available, or the entire desktop.  
 
You can also choose to take a screenshot of the entire desktop if there are no active windows.  
 
 
Image settings
 
wizard_05  
 
If you are capturing screenshots, you can specify the quality of the image to store. A higher quality results in better image details, but results in a larger file.  
 
 
Log retention period
 
wizard_06  
 
Enter the period in days in which Crunch Time should store the logged data and any logged screenshots.  
 
 
Storage settings
 
wizard_07  
 
Crunch Time will calculate the approximate space requirements based upon your log settings. You can then enter the name of the folder you want to store the database in.  
 
 
Selection complete
 
wizard_08  
 
Once you have completed your selection, click Finish to complete the setup. The Data Collector will create the database, and start logging your activity. When you want to update your logging options, you can do so by selecting the Options item from the Data Collector's context menu. See Modifying options for details.
