Getting Started

Get oriented and build quickly — what the platform is, the ideas that recur everywhere, and your first datastore.

• Getting Started — Your first hour with ActiveManage — what it is, the concepts that recur everywhere, and building your first datastore.
• Platform Overview — What the platform is for, how its parts relate, and the hosting models it runs under — read this before building anything.
• Quick Start — Build a working ticket application end to end — datastore, permissions, users, dashboard and API — following paths that match the actual navigation.
• Core Concepts — The six design decisions behind the platform, what each one buys you, and the trade-off each one makes.
• Glossary — The platform vocabulary, with the distinctions that most often trip newcomers up spelled out rather than implied.
