Before reading this guide, you should be familiar with basic Version 5 concepts such as document windows, standard and view toolbars. Therefore, we recommend that you read the Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common to all Version 5 products. It also describes the general layout of V5 and the interoperability between workbenches.
To get the most of this guide, we suggest that you start performing the step-by-step Getting Started tutorial.
Once you have finished, you should move on to the User Tasks section.
The Workbench Description section, which describes the Knowledge Advisor workbench, and the Customizing section, which explains how to set up the options, will also certainly prove useful.
To perform the scenarios, you will be using sample documents
contained in either the online/kwrug/samples
folder.
