Getting around
Zentitle2 has been designed to be simple and fast to use.
Zentitle has several functions, including setting up and managing your products and customers. However, almost everything can be done using APIs, not the user interface.
Top navigation
You can select between our applications (Zentitle and Zengain) and the central administration sections.
Account setup and user management are done using the "administration" section.
Account setup is also a one-time setup in most cases. This is about adding your internal users and getting the credentials the engineering team needs to integrate your apps with Zentitle.
Zentitle2: Left navigation
The left-hand navigation is made up of 5 main areas.
Dashboard: daily use for customer management and analytics.
Customers: customers and end-user management.
Entitlements: managing your customer and user rights.
Product Catalog: product setup and management.
Local License Server: setup of and management of the LLS.
Help and support.
Using the dashboard is helpful for quick access to at-a-glance data and click-through to detailed reports.
Importing your customers and their associated end users is another essential option for mapping entitlements to your customers so you can manage them via Zentitle2.
This section holds all your entitlements, and you can manage your customers and their use of your products here. Entitlements are often also called "licenses" for on-prem applications.
When using Zentitle2, your product team must configure your products into the system. Products have several constituent parts, such as plans, and when combined, they are called "offerings," which are equivalent to your product pricelist items or SKUs.
The help docs describe this in detail and tend to be a one-time initial setup with additions and changes as your business model morphs over time.
Once products are set up, you can issue entitlements to customers.
The Zentitle2 Local License Server (LLS) allows the vendor to deploy a docker-container-based server to an end customer who does not want to (or cannot) allow an ongoing connection with the Zentitle2 cloud-based license server. This may be useful to your organization, or you may not require this premium feature.
Help and support
Use the help and support links to access the support team and the docs/API reference guides.
Dropdown menus and search use a function we call "type ahead" because the dropdown only has twenty items for speed and clarity. This allows you to start your request by typing, and the intelligent engine will display a tighter and tighter list of choices based on the number of characters you type—it simply makes life easier when searching for large lists in the dropdown dialog boxes.
