The [[Quick Setup Wizard]] provides a simple way to create a [[Character Set]], with settings for [[Repeater]] and a [[Window Layout]]. When used for [[World of Warcraft]], the wizard can also generate some basic [[Key Maps]] (see [[WoW:Quick Setup Wizard]] for more information).
 
 
== Walkthrough ==
 
The first thing the Quick Setup Wizard is going to ask you for is information about the game you want to play. If that game is specifically listed in the upper drop-down box, select it; otherwise select <tt>Other</tt>. The bottom two drop-down boxes are populated with game information from [[Inner Space]]. '''If your game is not listed''', select <tt>Add Game</tt> from the Inner Space menu (right click the crosshairs icon in the system tray). After adding a game through Inner Space, close Inner Space and then restart ISBoxer; this will allow ISBoxer to read the new information. If your game has a "No Patch" profile, it is advised to select that profile rather than the "Default" profile. If you use [[Multiple game folders|multiple game folders]] (note that by using multiple game folders you will incur a performance hit), you can add each folder with <tt>Add Game</tt> and select it per [[Character]] in ISBoxer after completing the wizard.
 
 
After selecting the Game information, the next page sets up the [[Character|Characters]] to form your new team. If you're playing [[World of Warcraft]], see [[WoW:Quick Setup Wizard|Quick Setup Wizard for WoW]]-specific information about the wizard, as this next page is different. For all other games, you are presented with a box to enter your [[Character]]'s name. It is not imperative that the name matches, but it is recommended because future ISBoxer updates may include functionality that makes use of this information. A second box is available to tell ISBoxer how to show your name in the interface; this is helpful for Character names that are very similar in appearance.
 
 
Next, select a name for your team. Yeah, that's all.
 
 
Finally, pick a Window Layout if you want ISBoxer to set one up for you. Style 1 is primarily used for multiboxing on 1 monitor (I personally keep 1 monitor for my 5 game windows, and my second monitor for everything else like web browser, etc), and can line windows up along an edge of the window. Unlike what you get with other multiboxing software, these windows are generated with aspect ratio identical to the large region. There are some options for Style 1, and playing with the controls will show you in the Preview window what it would look like with those options. The one option that may need explaining is <tt>I want session 1 to have its own inactive slot</tt>. When this option is checked, there will be 1 more region than there are [[Slot|Slots]] in your [[Character Set]], so that all windows have room to be set aside at once; this makes it effortless to identify which [[Character]] you are playing at any given time -- the active Slot will be in the main region instead of a small region, and there will be a hole. When the option is not checked, Slot 1 will change places with whatever Slot is active, borrowing its small region.
 
 
=== What we configured ===
 
<small>This page describes the Quick Setup Wizard as available for '''all games'''. For [[World of Warcraft]], please see [[WoW:Quick Setup Wizard]].</small>
 
* All of the [[Character|Characters]] you created
 
* A [[Character Set]] with a hotkey '''Ctrl+Shift+Alt+G''' to toggle the in-game [[ISBoxer Control Panel]], and some game-specific options selected as needed
 
* A [[Repeater]] Profile for 1-to-1 broadcasting. No default hotkey.
 
* A [[Window Layout]] with [[Window Swapping]] enabled
 
* [[Virtual File|Virtual Files]] depending on the selected game, to keep separate game configuration (e.g. the game's stored account names for login) on a per-Character basis
