With a new graphical user interface (GUI) called the Express Server Manager, customers now can easily and quickly configure their Express Server software and their image catalogs from anywhere on the Web without having to open a command line or edit XML files. Now they can set Express Server’s properties, configure catalogs, and create catalog groups all in the new GUI, just by logging in with a browser, checking a few boxes, filling in a few fields, and clicking a button or two. The new Express Server Manager is all about ease of use and saving time.
