These tutorials guide you on a path through the system's features. They also provide links to more detailed information about each aspect of the system. Once you've completed the tutorials, you should have a basic understanding of how the different OpsWise Automation Center features work together to automate your environment. During the course of performing these tutorials, you will build up a small database of demonstration records that you will re-use in subsequent exercises. To avoid having to re-enter data, do not delete the records. |
Before you begin, we recommend you watch a short (two minute) movie about how to navigate around OpsWise Automation Center.
