Getting Started - Install the Chrome extension for the Experience League documentation
Last updated
The documentation has been made generic so that it can easily be reused by anyone, using any Adobe Experience Platform instance. By making the documentation reusable, Environment Variables were introduced in the documentation, which means that you'll find the below keys in the documentation. Every key is a specific variable for a specific environment, and the Chrome extension will change that variable for you and as such make it easy for you to copy code and text from the tutorial pages and paste it in the various User Interfaces that you'll be using as part of the tutorial.
An example of such values can be found below. Currently, these values can't be used yet but as soon as you install and activate the Chrome extension, you'll see these variables change into 'normal' text that you can copy and reuse.
AEP IMS Org ID
--aepImsOrgId--
AEP Tenant ID
--aepTenantId--
DCS Inlet ID
--dcsInletId--
Demo Profile LDAP
--demoProfileLdap--
As an example, in the below screenshot you can see a reference to --aepTenantId--.
Once the extension is installed, that same text will be changed automatically to reflect your instance-specific values.
The extension will also make it possible for you to:
Sign up for the tutorial
Click Add to Chrome.
You'll then see this. Click Add extension.
The extension will then be installed, and you'll see a similar notification.
In the extensions menu, click the puzzle piece icon and pin the Platform Learn - Configuration extension to the extension menu.
You'll then see this popup. Click the + icon.
Enter your name and the Configuration ID that was created for your Adobe Experience Platform environment. Click Create New.
In the left menu of the extension, you'll now see an icon with your initials. Click it. You'll then see the mapping between the Environment Variables and your specific Adobe Experience Platform instance values. Click Activate Configuration.
After activating your configuration, you'll see a green dot next to your initials. This means that your Configuration ID is now active. You'll also see a number of additional menu options appear.
You now have 2 options:
If you're an existing user of the enablement with an existing setup, go to 0.1.3 Existing user - Login
If you're a completely new user who's starting this tutorial for the first time, go to 0.1.4 Signup and skip 0.1.3 Existing user - Login

Fill out the values as required.
The LDAP is the most important field: you should use the same LDAP that you used when you first signed up for the tutorial. This will ensure that your progress is loaded successfully. If you're not sure what your ldap is, have a look at your email address. Use the text before the @-symbol in your email address as LDAP. If your email address is vangeluw@adobe.com, the LDAP you enter here should be vangeluw).
Click OK.
After 30sec-1 minute, your screen will change and you'll be reverted back to Home, where you'll see this:
Your Chrome extension is now configured, and you can now verify if everything is working fine.
