Interactive Guide

Iotellect is an easy-to-use system, but it's quite robust, too. There are several simple operations you have to do to get up and running. To ease your way into using the Iotellect Client, we have authored a series of Interactive Guides - one for each of these actions. These guides will help you quickly get up and running with Iotellect.

The following guides are available, and should be done in sequence by any new Iotellect Server administrator:

  • Guide 1: Create new Server Connection
  • Guide 2: Create a User Account
  • Guide 2: Connect a Device
  • Guide 3: Connect a Device Server

We call these guides "interactive" because the Guide window tracks what you do with the client, and tells you what to do next. Think of it as a personal coach watching over your shoulder as you get up to speed with Iotellect. It's just read-and-click, all the way through:

Showing the Tutorial Window

By default, the tutorial window is shown automatically on starting up the client. However, if you need to manually show the guide window, use Main Menu > Help > Open Interactive Guide.

Pitfalls and Bugs (Tricking the Guide)

We have attempted to make the tutorial as fool-proof as possible. The Next button is only enabled once you've performed the action called for. However, it is possible to 'trick' the tutorial by clicking the Cancel button for various dialogs, etc. Our purpose was not necessarily to predict all of the countless incorrect actions which can be done, but to mark a 'safe trail' through setting up the program. If you carefully follow the tutorial, you'll get where you're trying to go.
