    Accurate company information improves reporting and system organization.

    Create organizational groups such as:

    • Operations
    • Quality Assurance
    • Health & Safety
    • Maintenance
    • Compliance
    This structure helps with task assignment and reporting.

    Add Users

    Typical users include:
    • Administrators
    • Managers
    • Supervisors
    • Auditors
    • Inspectors
    • Field Personnel
    Users can be invited through email and assigned appropriate access levels.

    Review your workspace settings and configure:

    • Time Zone

    • Notification Preferences
    • Email Alerts
    • Language Preferences (if available)
    These settings help ensure the platform matches your operational requirements.

    Recommended Setup Sequence

    For the best experience, configure your workspace in the following order:

    2. Verify Email
    3. Configure Company Information
    4. Create Sites and Locations
    5. Create Teams and Departments
    6. Add Users
    7. Assign Roles and Permissions
    8. Configure Preferences
    9. Create Checklists
    10. Begin Scheduling Tasks
    Following this sequence helps avoid configuration issues later.

    Tips
    • Set up locations and teams before adding users.
    • Use clear and consistent naming conventions.
    • Assign the minimum permissions necessary.
    • Test your setup with a small pilot group.
    • Review notification settings before launch.
    • Document administrative settings for future reference.

    Best Practices
    • Establish your organization structure before creating workflows.
    • Standardize naming across locations and departments.
    • Test user access before full deployment.
    • Review permissions regularly.
    • Keep administrator accounts secure.
    • Configure reporting structures early.

    Common Mistakes to Avoid
    • Adding Users Before Creating Locations

    This often results in confusion and unnecessary reconfiguration.
    • Assigning Excessive Permissions
    Too much access increases security and governance risks.
    • Using Generic Names
    Names such as "Branch 1" or "Test Site" make reporting difficult to understand.
    • Skipping Initial Testing
    Testing ensures users, permissions, and workflows operate correctly before rollout.
    • Ignoring Notification Settings
    Users may miss important task assignments, approvals, or updates.
