The page's title should always be Configuring XYZ Account where XYZ is the Snap Pack's name.

Overview

Provide an overview of why an account must be configured. For example, "You must configure the SnapLogic Account to connect to your XYZ instance..." Provide the list of supported account types along with a one liner on when/why they must be used. This is to give the user some idea of which account type better suits their purpose. Account type's purpose should be direct and minimal. Include links where necessary. Retain the "See Accounts..." sentence, include the overview above this sentence. Replace "XYZ" with the Snap Pack's name. Look at the Screenshot Style Guide ( https://mysnaplogic.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DT/pages/829554758/SnapLogic+Documentation+Style+Guide+for+Images--DRAFT+FOR+COMMENT) for guidance on screenshots. 

You must configure Oracle accounts to enable Oracle Snaps to connect to Oracle instances.

The Oracle Account has the following account types:

If there are more than three account types then document them as child pages and use the template Account Type for them. Else, document them here and remove the "Pages in this section" part including the Panel. Link each account type to its respective section/page.

See Accounts to learn more about SnapLogic Accounts.

Snap Compatibility 

If, as seen in Binary Snap Pack or Hadoop Snap Pack, there are several account types and not all Snaps use all account types, then use this section. List the Snaps in the Snap Pack that use the account type and any other information that is helpful for the user in the Remarks. Remove this section if it is not required.
