Introduction
The setup guides are intended to be used to:
- Learn how to manually add basic data using the Iptor WM1 desktop client.
- Configure the functionality required to create the foundational layer of an Iptor WM1 installation.

In most cases, the remaining data required to make a Iptor WM1 installation operational is entered through transactions from a host system, or through imports from Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets. The setup guides do not explain how to perform those tasks. |

- Individuals who are responsible for defining the standard operations.
