Quick Start
Before you can use Automate Ops Console to monitor and control your Automate Enterprise resources, you must first establish a connection between the Ops Console and Automate Enterprise. The Quick Start page allows you to quickly and easily set up connections to existing Automate Enterprises or create connections to new ones. You can create guest or temporary connections which can be saved with the same properties configured for your default connection. In addition, you can update the user name and password of existing profiles.
Saved connections appear as profiles under the Available Automate Enterprises section. You can expand a profile to view or edit its user name or password.
To access the Quick Start page, clicktap Quick Start under the Automate menu.
