Instrument Documentation
Important information
What are the prerequisites to using Instrument and how do I get started?
Some system administration setup is required before using Instrument. In-Memory and Elasticsearch are prerequisites to running Instrument. You also must be on the latest available STEP baseline. Refer to the Getting started section and the Administration section for details.
Online help for In-Memory and Elasticsearch can be found in the STEP Documentation.
As a user, once all setup is done, you:
-
Access your Instrument UI via [system name]/instrument or using the link on the right side of your system Start Page.
-
Log in and set your default context preference.
-
Begin customizing your work area.
You can search for configuration information in this documentation. Getting started provides a quick overview of the unique user experience Instrument provides. Also, there are a few prerequisites that administrators should look at to ensure your user experience goes smoothly. If you do need assistance, refer to the documentation topics using the quick links above or the links in the left navigation area. You can also search documentation using the search bar at the top of each page.
What browsers can I use?
Windows and Mac clients: Chrome and Firefox
Windows only: Edge
Mac only: Safari
The latest versions of these browsers are supported. Ensure that you are using the latest / most up-to-date browser version to have the best possible user experience. The term "latest" is defined by the browser vendor, so check with browser vendors to determine the latest version available and upgrade as needed. Stibo Systems strives to test all new supported browser versions, and on very rare occasions, may need to provide special instructions if a browser update has backward compatibility issues.
What accessibility features are built into Instrument?
Our goal is to provide a user experience that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. Users can work within Instrument by using keyboard shortcuts such as the tab key, arrow keys, and the space key.
Where do I find information about the STEP Workbench and other admin / standard functionality?
Online help for standard STEP functionality can be found via the Help link within workbench or via the STEP Documentation link on your system's Start Page.
