The General Quick Start Tutorial is the prerequisite for all new users. Beginners should also do the eiConsole Foundation Tutorials (Modules 1-12) before moving on to more advanced topics, or the industry specific tutorials and documentation. The menu on this page groups topics by category and subcategory with varying levels of difficulty. Note, eiConsole users who want to leverage the capabilities of the Data Mapper should have a basic understanding of XSLT. Take the quick course: Learn XSLT.

The industry links (top right and below) provide  tutorials and documentation for eiConsole industry-specific bundles. These bundles include the custom eiConsole tools and components that allow users to greatly increase their productivity when working with specific industry standards and formats.
