Setting Up Postman

Creating a new workspace

Create a new Workspace by clicking on the Workspaces dropdown > Create Workspace (or click on the "New" button, and select Workspace).Select Personal in the Visibility option. (Refer to images in the note above)

Name the workspace

Create a name for the workspace. It can be anything you like, but it is recommended to use the same name as your training account (FCTRAINEU<NUMBER>)

Importing downloaded files

Click on import and select your training account credentials JSON and both of the files downloaded on the Introduction page (Fluent Learning-TC-SC1 Labs.postman_collection and v1 LaunchPad & Sample Data). No alt provided

If they have been imported successfully, you should see popups with green stripes in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. You should also see Fluent JetPack - LaunchPad and Fluent Training on the left sidebar. No alt provided

Swapping environments

Click on the "No Environment" dropdown in the top right hand corner of the screen and select your sandbox environment file (`FCTRAINEU<ID>.Sandbox-Env`)

Exploring Collections

Examining LaunchPad requests

Do not try to run any LaunchPad requests manually

Do NOT use the "Send" button to run requests, as they are designed to be used specifically with the Collection runner and will error out. No alt provided

Click into Fluent JetPack and open up a request. You should be able to see the contents of the requests in the main screen. Post-request scripts are under the 'Test' tab, and can be used to write automated BI tests. No alt provided

There may also be scripts on the folder level in a LaunchPad request. You can view these by clicking on a folder and checking the Pre-request Scripts and Test tabs. Any scripts at a folder level will be applied to all other requests within it.

Looking at authorization requests

These can be viewed by clicking on the ellipses next to a request on the sidebar, then selecting edit. No alt provided

Outside of Auth requests, authorization is set at the folder level, so all requests inherit the same authorization. It is set as a Bearer Token and uses the `{{fluent.account.token}}`. No alt provided

These values should not be edited.
