Community help really needed

Greetings to all! I apologize in advance for what is probably a very stupid request for help! I need help with my first steps in using i-doit. My main question is - after entering the interface - what should I do first? for example - to create an organization? or create a user? or vice versa create a router? I just can’t understand why the connections don’t work. I'm sure I'm doing something in the wrong order. Please help me with the first steps in using

Hello,

everytime i build a documentation in i-doit i go on with the logical steps as in real live when i start to create new it-infrastructure. But that's just my way to start documentation ... like "go with the flow".

First at all: Coffee, cookies and brainstorming what kind of documentation, what granulation, which goal should be achieved?
That's soooo important to know.

starting finework like user roles, add more and more contacts and manuals for trouble-shooting-situations, ...

From point 8 on ... it's jumping around.
Between every step i look back and check out: am i on the right way? Is it important? Good to know or involves it a lot of work and nothing else?
