The FortiOS handbook is a good reference, I guess, to start your task. In the first of the "Intrusion Protection" section it provides general info about how IDS works in the FortiGate. Are you looking for something different than this?
I am downoloading FortiOS handbook, as you proposed, but it would be better for me if you have something to recommend for a book for FortiManager that will include examples too.
The basics for IDS are covered in the FortiOS handbook. The FortiManager handbook covers only the how to enable IDS topics. You don't do something different in the FortiManager, but you do it in a different way. I'll see if I can find any cookbook with more practical examples.
I'm afraid I couldn't find something in the cookbook. However all the information you need about IPS (including examples) is in the FortiOS handbook. In the FortiManager you do the same thing but you do it in a different way. I'm proposing to use some examples from the handbook and transform them into FMG examples.
I will follow your advice and read the FortiOS handbook. From what I have seen already it won't be much different to configure the firewall via FMG. It just need more familiarity with the GUI of FMG.
