Audit Program 4.0 - User Manual
1. Introduction
Additional Technical Considerations:
File Access Requirements:
AP4.0 requires full access to the C Drive for creating, opening, modifying, and saving Excel files. Ensure that the following permissions are configured:
The user account running AP4.0 must have administrator privileges to allow the program to write to the C Drive.
Ensure that the folders used by AP4.0 are not restricted by system or administrator policies.
Firewall and Anti-Virus Settings:
AP4.0 interacts with files on the C Drive and requires Excel to open and save files dynamically. To prevent disruptions:
- Allow AP4.0 through the Windows Firewall by adding it to the list of allowed programs.
- Configure your anti-virus software to exclude AP4.0’s installation folder and working directories from real-time scanning. This ensures that the program’s file creation and modification processes are not blocked or flagged as suspicious.
- Ensure that any network security tools or endpoint protection solutions do not restrict AP4.0’s access to Excel or file directories.
Excel Integration and Macros:
AP4.0 relies on seamless integration with Microsoft Excel. Ensure that macros are enabled in Excel, as the program may utilize them for certain processes.
Excel must be set to allow files to open without additional security prompts (e.g., disabling Protected View for trusted locations).
Administrator Privileges:
During installation and regular use, AP4.0 requires administrator privileges to run properly. Ensure that the user account has sufficient permissions to install, configure, and execute the program. If your system is managed by an IT department, you may need their assistance to configure these settings.
