Advanced Designer Reference

InstallAnywhere 2020

The InstallAnywhere Advanced Designer has an intuitive, graphical interface that enables you to manage all aspects of your installation projects. The Advanced Designer has two main navigational elements:

The primary navigational element is the horizontal row of buttons near the top of the InstallAnywhere interface, directly below the menu bar. You can click these buttons to open various pages in the Advanced Designer.
The secondary navigational element is the vertical column of buttons on the left side of the InstallAnywhere interface. The list of buttons in this area changes, depending on which page in the Advanced Designer is currently open.

The following table describes each of the pages that are available from the primary navigation—the vertical row of buttons—in the Advanced Designer.
