[http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/Deployments/SAMBRO An Introduction to SAMBRO] (Sahana Alerting and Messaging Broker)
== Purpose ==
The user guide is comprehensive with instructions from setting up SAMBRO software to issuing alerts. It is intended for all user levels: novices to experts. The guide is structured to take you through an actual implementation with real world examples and data. [[br]]

=== How to use the Guide ===
The user guide is designed to quickly access relevant information for performing a task and understanding the technical details. Notice that the most frequently used activities are listed first, for the users, and the seldom used (one time) Admin type activities are listed at the bottom. More or less in the reverse order of a typical work flow. We have segmented the '''role specific work flow topics'''. If you are a particular user searching for a topic, '''first navigate to the type of user you are and then select the work flow activity'''.
