The Lucity Administration Tool serves as the primary resource for controlling an agency's setup and options for Lucity Web and Desktop. However, other Lucity tools can also be helpful to an administrator. These tools are outlined below.
Note: The Administration Tool is automatically installed on every machine. Not all of the other tools are installed automatically.
|
Client Maintenance - Configures the Lucity Server, updates license files, maintains connections to the database, and performs database updates and linking. Client Maintenance is automatically run during the Lucity Server upgrade. Otherwise, it is usually only run when there are problems with Lucity connecting to the databases, when the databases are moved or restored from a backup, or when a new Licenses file is applied.

|
Lucity Security - Allows administrators to add or remove users from the Lucity system and to control users' permissions within the program.
|
|
Data Quality Tool - Allows administrators to run preconfigured SQL queries to verify data quality.
|
|
Lucity DSN Utility - Maintains the desktop computer's connection to the Lucity Server and databases. The utility updates the path to the Lucity Server Config folder and updates the DSNs based on that folder. This enables an administrator to point Lucity Desktop to a different instance of Lucity Server when the server location has changed, the database location has changed, or a new product/database has been added to Lucity. Administrators can run the utility manually, or silently, using a script or command line.
