Getting started walkthrough

The Getting started walkthrough helps new users set up their operation and learn where things live. Each task opens the real page and points at the exact button to click next, so you learn in the app itself rather than from screenshots.

The welcome

The first time you sign in, a welcome window lists the checklist. From there you can:
  • Start walkthrough — begin the first task you haven’t done yet (shows Continue walkthrough once you’ve done one)
  • Browse tasks — open the checklist and pick any task
  • I’ll explore on my own — close the welcome; the checklist stays one click away
The welcome shows once. You can reopen it from the checklist at any time.

The checklist

Getting started, near the top of the sidebar under Dashboard, shows how far through the checklist you are and opens it. The checklist has three groups: Each task takes a few minutes. Ticks are saved to your account, so your progress follows you to any computer. Below the checklist, a library of shorter tours covers the rest of the platform: Farms & Fields, Analyze and prescriptions, drone operations, settings and more. Library tours don’t count toward your progress.

What you’ll see

You only see tasks you can do. A task for a page your role or access profile doesn’t include, or for a feature that isn’t switched on for your organization, is left out, so the checklist never points at something you can’t use. Tours run on a computer or tablet-sized screen. On a phone you can read the checklist, but tours start from a larger screen.

Hiding and bringing it back

Choose Hide from sidebar in the checklist to put it away. To bring it back, choose Show getting started in your user menu (your name at the bottom of the sidebar) or Enable Getting started guide on the dashboard.
