Use the Online Documentation Website

In older editions of DMS, the legacy TRANSFLO® Online Documentation Website installer contained all of the content that administrators and business users needed to install, configure, and use the TRANSFLO® suite of products. The content was organized under a user-friendly menu and included a search engine.

Tip: This old documentation and its installer are discontinued and are no longer available. This knowledge base (where you are currently reading this content) is easier to search and is periodically updated. The classic legacy content, including this KB article about it, will be permanently removed from this KB in a future update.
