  2. Enter the email address and password you were given.
  3. Select “Login”. You’ll land on the Dashboard.

TipForgot your password? Ask another admin to reset it for you from People → the person → Edit → Reset password.

Finding your way around

The left-hand sidebar is your main menu. It is grouped into sections:

  1. Overview — the Dashboard, a snapshot of open jobs, defects and more.
  2. Work — Job Cards, Inspections and the Schedule.
  3. Fleet — Vehicles, Parts and Compliance events.
  4. Staff — People, Timesheets and Holidays.
  5. More — Reports, Chat and Messages.
  6. Your account menu (bottom, with your name) has Organization settings and Personal settings.

Finish setting up your workspace

A new workspace already works with sensible defaults, but it’s worth reviewing your settings.

  1. On the Dashboard, use the “Getting started” checklist — select “Configure system settings”.
  2. Or go to your account menu → Organization settings → System settings.
  3. Review Job types, Currency, VAT rates, Default labour rate and Company name, then Save any you change.

TipSee “Configuring system settings” for details on each setting.
