Purpose and guidelines of this article
This glossary aims to simplify the knowledge of the basis of the IGEP Technology environment, so that new users or even experienced users can find what they search as quickly and simply as possible.
Here you will find some basic definitions and their descriptions of the main concepts of the IGEP Technology. You will also find links to some related articles or categories inside the IGEP Community Wiki or to related external sites.
This glossary is dynamic, so feel free to complete or write new definitions, update the related articles, etc.
