Administering a client
The order a client is usually set up in. Each step is configuration that later steps depend on, so it is worth following the sequence the first time through.
Understand the model first
- Glossary — the terms the configuration screens use.
- Roles and profiles — how access is granted, and the vocabulary the rest of this route assumes.
People
- Create a user
- Edit a profile — what a profile controls.
- Password policy
- Teams and groups — how work is distributed once the users exist.
Calendars
- Holidays — these affect scheduling, so set them before anyone plans against a calendar.
- Leave types
- Absence types
Workflows
- Workflows — how documents move through their lifecycle.
- Stages and stage types
- Transitions — the rules, roles and actions that run when a document moves.
- Stage mappings
Data
- Typologies — the classification the rest of the data hangs from.
- Custom tables — extending the data model.
- Importing data — bringing users, departments, employees and projects in.
System
- Menu — what each profile sees.
- Custom style — branding.
- Query mentions
Where to go next
- Using the platform, to understand what the people you configured for actually do.
- Implementing the platform, for workspaces, automations and the API.
