I need to document the boxes checked and choices made in configuring/setup of a software for future reference. Any templates?

We are installing a software that has a lot of freedom to configure. I'd like to document WHAT choices we made and WHY we did that.

Given the almost infinite number of configurable software applications out there I've never seen a standard template but most companies I've worked with would either:

A) Use the software's own configuration export capability

B) Use a spreadsheet with different worksheets for different configuration sections or a simple relational database

I do agree with Kiron. There should be an export feature in the App.

A good option is to capture computer screen of each configuration step, with the appropriate boxes checked and choices made. To do this, use the "ImprPant" button on the keyboard. Then, include these images in an "Installation Manual".
