 Let's figure out how to set up root-directories in the next section.
+==== Configuring a new root directory ====
+You can set up a new root directory by going to Settings > Root Directories.
+{{ :rootdir.png?nolink&200 |}}
+Similar to how you created you first user, you can set up a new root directory by clicking on the "Add" button in the top-right corner of the overview table:
+{{ :rootdir2.png?nolink&400 |}}
+The new form that appears is also not unlike the one you used to add a new user: assign it an alias that you can use for identification and recognize, an optional description, and press the "Create" button. You can may ignore the rest of the fields for now; these are explained in detail in the dedicated chapter on root directories. Once the root directory is created, a mounting point is required that tells PMA.core where to find the slides that should be displayed under the particular root directory.
+{{ :rootdir3.png?nolink&400 |}}
+PMA.core supports several storage source types (aka mounting points) where slides can be accessed from. The most straightforward one is a local directory in the host server. The rest are explained in detail in the dedicated chapter on root directories. To get started, click on the "Mounting Points" tab and add a "File system root directory".
+{{ :rootdir4.png?nolink&400 |}}
+In the new form, provide an existing path in your server where slides are stored and leave the rest of the fields with their default values. The path must exist and PMA.core must be able to access it. This will be validated upon pressing "Create":
+{{ :rootdir5.png?nolink&400 |}}
+At this point, the root directory can be accessed and should be listed in the root directories section as mountable:
+{{ :rootdir6.png?nolink&400 |}}
+And you can browse the "test" root directory by going to the Images menu. You'll be able to select from any root directory that you have in your list, and see what files are present in each one. Furthermore, you may inspect any file in this list by clicking on its filename first, and subsequently on its thumbnail:
+{{ :rootdir7.png?nolink&400 |}}
+The image will then open in a new window, with a rudimentary no-bells-no-whistles interface.
+{{ :rootdir8.jpg?nolink&400 |}}
+You can find out more about what you can do with images in subsequent chapters, and of course you can have access to a much more advanced viewer in the separate [[https://www.pathomation.com/pma.view|PMA.view]] and [[https://www.pathomation.com/pma.studio|PMA.studio]] applications.
+==== What's next?  ====
+In this chapter, we've made an attempt to offer you a straight path to have operations up and running. We've shown you the quickest route through a minimum of steps of what it takes to get your server online and ready for action.
+You've created your first user account, mapped your first (digital) slide repository, and even looked at your first slide and experienced the ease of use of our platform, as well as the convenience of no longer having to worry about “which files can I actually see?” or “do I have the right viewer for this?”.
+In subsequent chapters we elaborate on each of the topics touched upon in this introduction, and introduce you to some new ones along the way.
+We sincerely hope you enjoy our software and that this is the beginning of a fruitful collaboration and relationship between you, the customer, and us, your friendly neighborhood digital pathology firm.
