# Getting Started

## Introduction

This manual will give you an initial overview of the individual Agile e6 clients, their program windows, their standard functions, and the extended functionality of Agile e6.

### Agile e6 Clients

In Agile e6 several different graphical user interfaces are available:

- Java Client, preferred client for Microsoft Windows
- Web Client based on HTML
- Windows Client for Microsoft Windows

Further information on these clients can be found in the User Interfaces chapter.

The various clients offer the same key features, but each has its individual characteristics. In this documentation we have tried to describe things as client-independently as we can. Differences between the individual clients are marked with this symbol.
