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.


Information.jpg Can't find what you are looking for? Your answer might be at the forum.

And remember, you can also help the community by creating a new entry in the glossary with your concept so that other users can fill the gap in the future.
