Setting up your organization

The first time you sign in, the portal automatically opens an onboarding guide. It walks organization owners and admins through completing their profile and configuring their organization's details before using the portal. Regular team members see only the profile step.

You can either complete the onboarding right away or click Skip to defer it. If you skip, you can reopen it at any time from the Dashboard.
