Best way to learn ARGUS best practices & gain working knowledge of the software?

Would anyone recommend the AE Case Study Manual for learning how to model complex rent, expense recovery, NOI, and DCF valuation setups?

I have access to the software and am trying to use it to track performance of my company's owned assets (70-tenant office buildings, at their most complex). Looking to learn best practices and understand how to quickly input the right information to give me accurate property valuations.

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
