(Deprecated) Install the Chrome extension for the Experience League documentation

Getting Started - Install the Chrome extension for the Experience League documentation

The usage of the Chrome Extension and Config ID have been deprecated. This article is only maintained as part of an archive.

0.0.1 Why did we create a Chrome extension?

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.

Name
Key

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:

0.0.2 Install the Chrome extension

To install that Chrome extension, open your Chrome browser and go to: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/platform-learn-configurat/hhnbkfgioecmhimdhooigajdajplinfi/related?hl=en&authuser=0. You'll then see this.

Click Add to Chrome.

DSN

You'll then see this. Click Add extension.

DSN

The extension will then be installed, and you'll see a similar notification.

DSN

In the extensions menu, click the puzzle piece icon and pin the Platform Learn - Configuration extension to the extension menu.

0.0.2 Configure the Chrome extension

Go to https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/platform-learn/comprehensive-technical-tutorial-v22/overview.html?lang=en and then click the extension icon to open it.

DSN

You'll then see this popup. Click the + icon.

DSN

Enter your name and the Configuration ID that was created for your Adobe Experience Platform environment. Click Create New.

If you're an Adobe employee: you can find the configuration ID to use on the internal Github repo (https://git.corp.adobe.com/vangeluw/platformenablement).

If you're an Adobe Solution Partner, please contact your Solution Partner contact or email [email protected].

DSN

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.

DSN

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.

DSN

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

0.0.3 Existing user - Login

[!IMPORTANT]

Exercise 0.1.3 Existing user - Login will only work if you're an existing user who previously signed up for this tutorial.

If you're an existing user who's setting up this Chrome extension for the first time, click the purple icon in the left menu. You'll then see this.

0.0.5 Verify tutorial content

As a test, go to this page.

You should now see that all Environment Variables have been replaced by their true values, based on the Configuration ID in the chrome extension.

You should now have a similar view to the below, where the environment variables --aepTenantId-- has been replaced by your real tenant ID, which in this case is _experienceplatform.
