The Administration documentation discusses the features of Omnidex, the approaches to designing, developing and deploying applications, and the techniques for achieving the best performance. This documentation is appropriate reading for both Omnidex Administrators and Omnidex Developers. Administrators should become well-versed in nearly all topics discussed here. Developers should become familiar with the early sections, but can skip the later sections.
