Tutorials

Hands-on lessons that walk you through the Istari Digital Platform step by step. Each track targets a specific audience and interface — the Istari Digital web app, the Python Client, or the Integration SDK — so you can start where your role needs it most.

For conceptual background before you begin, see Key Concepts.

Roles

Platform work spans four common roles. One person may hold more than one; tutorials call out prerequisites when another team must finish setup first.

Role	Typical responsibilities
Infra team	Install the Istari Digital Platform in the customer network or cloud provider; enable deployment flags (infosec, Secure Connections); register Inbox/Outbox buckets for partner sharing
IT administrator	Install Istari Digital Agents and integration modules; grant organization administrator access; troubleshoot cluster, registry, sync, and agent health
Organization administrator	Invite users; grant tool access; define control tags; manage agents and agent pools; configure app integrations and encryption keys; configure Secure Connections (Sending/Receiving)
Engineer	Create systems; upload and version models and artifacts; run jobs and extractions on connected agents; write automation scripts; share Resources with teammates and partner orgs (Secure Connections)

Infra team and IT administrator setup is documented in the Administration guide. Organization administrators and engineers use the tutorials below once that foundation is in place.

Tutorial tracks

Organization administrator

Browser-based setup in the Istari Digital web app for organization administrators. Complete these before end-user tutorials when you are standing up a new environment.

Tutorial	What you will do
Onboard your organization	Invite users, grant tool access, and verify a connected agent can run extraction jobs
Configure partner sharing (Secure Connections)	Create Sending and Receiving Connections and verify partner sync

See also the Administrator Guide for reference on every admin hub screen.

Web app (1xx)

Browser-only workflows for engineers and other end users.

Tutorial	What you will do
Web app 101 — Your first digital thread	Register a file, run an extraction, add a revision, and compare extracted data

Python Client (2xx)

Script the same flows from Python using istari-digital-client.

Tutorial	What you will do
Python Client 201 — Scripting your first digital thread	Connect from Python, register a file, run extractions, and compare results as JSON

Integration SDK (3xx)

Build and deploy custom integration modules for IT administrators and integration authors.

Tutorial	What you will do
Integration 301 — Your first module (shell)	Structure a module, define inputs and outputs, and run it through a connected agent
Integration 302 — Build a Python module	Implement a function in Python, compile a standalone binary, and publish the module

Suggested order

1. Infra team and IT administrator — platform and agent installation (Administration guide).
2. Organization administrator — Onboard your organization (unblocks user tutorials).
3. Engineer — Web app 101, then Python Client 201.
4. Organization administrator — Configure partner sharing when partner sharing is required (after IT enables Secure Connections).
5. IT administrator / integration authors — Integration 301 and 302 when you need custom modules beyond the catalog.
