The five stages
Work through these in order. Each one depends on the one before it — you cannot assign a person to a site that does not exist yet, and you cannot run an inspection without a published template.
| Stage | What you do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Log in and navigate | Sign in, set up two-step verification, and learn the layout. | Log in · Navigate |
| 2. Prepare your organisation | Organisation settings, billing, SSO, roles, sites, groups, then users — in that order. | Prepare your organisation |
| 3. Run your first inspection loop | Build a template, inspect against it, and watch a failed answer become tracked work. | Run your first inspection loop |
| 4. Start field work | Get inspectors onto the mobile app and working, including offline. | Get started as a field user |
| 5. Go live and keep it running | Widen beyond the pilot, then schedule and monitor. | Go live |
Users come last in stage 2 on purpose. Roles decide what a person can do, sites decide what they can see, and groups decide what work reaches them. Create those first and each new user is a single step rather than three follow-ups.
Decisions you cannot undo later
Two choices are effectively permanent. Make them deliberately before you invite anyone.
Location hierarchy is a third to think about early. It is switched on for the whole organisation, and once any site has locations recorded against it the organisation-wide setting locks. See Organisation settings.
Keep the first run small
Set up one site, one template, and a handful of users before you widen. A small first run surfaces the questions your team will actually ask — which response types you need, who should be notified, what a failed answer should trigger — while changing your mind is still cheap.
Stage 5 is where you widen, once the loop has run end to end at least once.
