There is a tutorial in the installation, which is covered in the documentation. I would start by using the Help menu in the CIW in virtuoso, and going to the tree you see and looking at either AMS Designer or AMS Environment. There are some tutorials there - it depends on which version you're using as to what they are called though.
Otherwise, the quick answer is that when you create the new config, you'll be prompted with a "New Configuration" form. At the bottom there's a "Use Template" button. Hit that, and pick "AMS" as the template. OK the form. Now back in the New Configuration form, change the View to be the top view (the schematic) of your design. OK this form.
Now you have a config. This allows you to modify which views get used for which blocks. Save the config, and then hit the Open button in the hierarchy editor. This will open the configured schematic. From this you can start ADE (you'll notice that ADE is now using the lib/cell/config rather than lib/cell/schematic).
There's also documentation on the hierarchy editor if you want to find out more about how that works.
Regards,
Andrew.
