Naming FileMaker Server

In this Deployment assistant step, assign a name to your FileMaker Server deployment and optionally provide additional information. This is the Identification step.

To name your FileMaker Server deployment:

1. For Server Name, enter a name for your FileMaker Server deployment.

Tip Use names consisting of standard ASCII characters without spaces. Do not use a slash (/) in the server name.

FileMaker Pro clients see this name when they use the Open Remote File dialog box, FileMaker Go clients see this name in the File Browser, and server administrators see this information on the Admin Console Start Page.

2. For Server Description, enter an optional description of your FileMaker Server deployment.

Administrators see this information on the Admin Console Start Page.

3. Under Administrator Contact Information, you can choose to enter contact information.

This information appears on the Admin Console Start Page. You can also publish this information to a directory service. See Directory service settings.

4. Click Next to go to the next step.

Click Back to return to the previous step or Cancel to exit the Deployment assistant.

Note You can change this information in Admin Console. See Admin Console settings.
