These guides cover the tasks you repeat when you run Active Monitoring: from preparing a token to reviewing the decisions that screening produces. Each guide has Platform UI steps and Coordinator API requests.

## Typical order

1. [Prepare Your Token](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/prepare-your-token): grant your CRE Connect Wallet the onchain role and prepare the ABI.
2. [Configure the TRM API Key and Screening Schedule](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/configure-screening): store the key and choose how often to screen.
3. [Manage Monitored Tokens](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/manage-monitored-tokens): register the token and its associated contracts.
4. [Configure Monitoring Rules](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/configure-monitoring-rules): map each risk level to a response.
5. [Manage the Watchlist](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/manage-watchlist): add the addresses to screen.
6. Start screening, from the same guide as step 2.
7. [Review Decisions and Track Operations](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/review-decisions): read the Decisions log, and resolve or enforce flagged decisions.
