How to get started with the MATTR VII platform

This guide will help you get started with MATTR VII, from creating a tenant to using digital credential capabilities.

Prerequisites

Access to the MATTR Portal or to a specific MATTR VII tenant. You can complete the sign up form for a free MATTR VII trial.

Create a new tenant

All MATTR VII operations happen in the context of a specific tenant. Therefore, before you can use any MATTR VII capabilities you must first create a tenant, or obtain access to an existing one. A tenant is a logical container that holds all the resources and configurations for your MATTR VII implementation.

If you already have access to an existing tenant, you can skip to the next step.

Perform the following steps to create a new tenant using the MATTR Portal:

Select the Create/switch tenant button on the top-right side of the screen.
The All tenants panel is displayed, listing any existing tenants.
Select the Create new button.
The New tenant form is displayed.
Use the Region dropdown list to select the region your tenant will be hosted in.
Use the Tenant subdomain text box to insert a subdomain for your tenant.
Use the Tenant name text box to insert a meaningful and friendly name for your tenant.
Select the Create button to create the new tenant.
Copy the displayed tenant information and record it somewhere safe.
The client secret is only displayed immediately after the tenant is created. Once you navigate away from this screen, the client secret will be masked and cannot be retrieved again. Ensure you save it securely at this point.

Interact with the tenant

You can interact with your tenant and use MATTR VII capabilities either using the MATTR Portal or via direct API calls. The MATTR Portal provides a user-friendly interface for managing your tenant, while the APIs allow for programmatic access to MATTR VII capabilities.
