 The TMSSLite.cfg file allows TapeTrack administrators to customize the end-user experience for Lite users. You can insert, remove, and change the names  of the tasks in the **Tape Management Task Menu**, limit functions of a [[object:repository|Repository]], and manage how log files are created and archived.

+===== Locating The Lite Config File =====
+The default installation location of TapeTrack Lite is at C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack Lite. This location can be modified at installation to suit your requirements if required.
+The Lite config file (TMSSLite.cfg) is located in the TapeTrack directory at \TapeTrack\TapeTrack Lite\TMSSLite.cfg
+<note important>Before modifying the file TMSSLite.cfg make a backup copy in case of any errors</note>
+Open the file in a plain text editor, such as Notepad.
 ===== Customizing the Library Management Tasks Menu =====

 There are several commands that can be used under the ''menu'' command:
   * **<nowiki>//</nowiki>** - a double forward slash indicates a comment. Because of this, anything following a double slash will not be included in the script and will not modify [[desktop:lite|Lite]].
-  * **filter** - filter is used to isolate the pre-existing command that you would like to alter. TapeTrack Filters can be used in this section. For example, the above script uses " filter="*Outlook*"; " to isolate any variable in the Tape Management Task Menu that has the string "Outlook" in it. Due to the fact that "Outlook Integration" is the only Tape Management Task Menu item that has "Outlook" in it, it is the only menu item that will be isolated and changed.

   * **text** - text indicates what will be displayed in the Tape Management Task Menu in TapeTrack Lite.

+===== Notifications =====
+Lite will display various notifications in the lower right of your display at different times.
+For example when logging on to Lite, a notification will display a welcome message and the last IP address used to logon.
+{{logon_notification.png}}
+By default the notifications section of Lite blocks Library Health Warnings as this notification is more relevant in TapeMaster.
+<code>
+notifications =
+{
+   filters=
+   (
+      {
+    	    title="Library Health Warning"; line1="*"; line2="*"; disable=true;
+      }
+   )
+};
+</code>
+It is possible to block other notifications, if required, by adding additional blocks of code for the required notifications. For example to remove, or block, the ''Logged-On'' notification modify the ''notifications'' block of code to include the following code.
+<code>
+notifications =
+{
+   filters=
+   (
+      {
+    	    title="Library Health Warning"; line1="*"; line2="*"; disable=true;
+      },
+      {
+	    title="Logged-On"; line1="*"; line2="*"; disable=true;
+      }
+   )
+};
