Documentation for the Configuration of ConfTool
Guides for setting up ConfTool for your event. These pages are written for users with Administrator (Admin) rights. Most explanations refer to ConfTool Pro, but many of the general concepts also apply to the standard version.
Setting up ConfTool for the first time?
Start with Getting Started for an overview of the main modules and the order in which to configure them. You do not have to set up everything at once – each module can be completed when you need it. Items marked ★ Pro are only available in ConfTool Pro.
