Hello people

I need help with naming some documents that I plan to write.

I write doc for an authentication server, which can work in lots of different ways with lots of different systems.

I'll have the usual installation & config material in the usual books, plus a bunch of small scenario-specific books, like this:


   - Use Whatsit and OATH tokens to secure access to a VPN
   - Use Whatsit as a RADIUS server with Checkpoint
   - Use Whatsit with Telstra Gateway
   - ...etc

At first there will be about five of these little docs, but I expect that there might be twenty or fifty of them in a year or two.

What should I call these little documents? All I can think of "scenario guide" and "use case guide", neither of which seems right. I need to be able to say things like "Use the Installation Guide to set up Whatsit, and then choose a ??? to help you configure it for your situation."

Thanks,
Melanie
