Impact 2023 (Dynamic Constraints Edition) release is available for download, bringing with it a host of new features. Available here.

Advanced Setup

The plugin can have multiple configurations stored within the database. This is similar to how Impact’s multiple sites work and is only recommended for advanced users.

Please contact your Arden Software Ltd representative on instructions on how to use this feature.

When enabled and you have more than one setting, then the Open context menu expands to show all the available configurations in your database. The first item in the list, just above the separator, shows the currently loaded configuration and has, by default, a green icon.

Clicking on a listed setting will load that setting.
