This section provides a high-level overview of the available screens and menu options in ACP.
Your username and password will be provided by 6connect, your local vendor, or your systems administrator.
The login screen is where you can select the language localization for the product. This selector is in the upper-right corner. After logging in, you will be directed to the ACP Home Page.
After login the ACP home page defaults to “No Workflow Selected” and provides links to create a new workflow, to import a workflow, and to browse the list of existing workflows.
From here, you may also access the ACP actions menu in the upper left corner of screen, the language selector in the lower right corner, and the logout link from the arrow in the upper right corner.
The ACP Header (the black bar at the top of the page) is available throughout ACP, and contains the following elements:
After logging in, and whenever no workflows are open, the Home Page will display "No Workflow Selected" and give the following options:
Change the Language at any point by selecting the desired language from the selector at the bottom right corner of the screen.
The actions menu for ACP is accessed by the menu button toggle ("Hamburger" icon of three horizontal lines) on the left side of the ACP black header bar (upper-left corner of the screen).
Clicking the menu button once will expand the actions menu on the left side of the screen, showing the full menu options. Clicking it again will collapse the menu, showing only the menu icons. Hover over a menu icon at any point to view a text description of the menu item.
The actions menu contains links to specific management areas, each of which will be described in their own sections.

The user management screen is accessed from the primary actions menu.
This screen allows you to add, delete, and edit system users.
When adding or editing, a modal dialogue requests basic information about the user.
The search box allows you to quickly find a particular user.
The category management screen is accessed from the primary actions menu.
Each ACP Workflow is assigned a category to help keep them organized. By default, new workflows are assigned to the category “uncategorized.”
New categories can be added using the “Add category” button in the upper-left. Categories can be removed by using the ‘delete’ button on the left of their row.
There are no limits to the number of categories you can define. A workflow can only be a member of one category.
ACP ships with several built-in categories for the example library, such as “Getting started” and “ProVision and Route53.”
The workflow list contains all of the saved ACP Workflows within the system. Workflows are listed by the order in which they were created, most recent first, but they can also be sorted by name or category.
The search box allows you to search for a specific workflow by name.
Each row in the listing table describes a single workflow, and the action buttons on the right allow you to:
You can also import a new workflow from a JSON export using the ‘import’ dialogue in the upper-left.
ACP ships with a wide variety of working ACP examples illustrating various concepts and functions. These examples can be found in the Workflow List and are grouped into distinct categories, like ‘Getting Started’ and ‘ProVision & Amazon.’
The ‘Getting Started’ category is of particular importance for new users as it shows specific examples of distinct concepts. This category of workflows will be referenced often in this documentation.
