Implementation Task Flow: Standard Edition

Intended for use with Cassatt Active Response V5.0.

Info Central, like most web sites, is designed to let you choose where you want to go and what you want to read about. For those who prefer a more linear user guide, or for anyone who needs to start from the very beginning, this implementation task flow serves as a "table of contents" to guide you through the documentation you'll need for your own implementation.

Before you start, you might want to read Cassatt Active Response Basic Concepts: Standard Edition.
