#What to set up first
Most crews are scheduling real work within one afternoon. The order below matters: customers and team members need to exist before you can assign a job, and Stripe needs to be connected before invoices can be paid online.
You can do every step during the 14-day free trial. Nothing you set up is lost when the trial ends and you pick a plan.
- Add your company name, address, logo and time zone in Settings > Company > Profile.
- Import your customers and job sites from a CSV file in Settings > Data > Import.
- Invite office staff and technicians from Settings > Team > Users > Invite.
- Create your first checklist template in Settings > Checklists > Templates.
- Connect Stripe in Settings > Payments > Connect Stripe so customers can pay online.
- Schedule a test job from Schedule > New job and assign it to yourself to see the technician view.
#Run a test job end to end
Assign the test job to yourself and open it in the technician app. Tap through the checklist, add a photo, collect a signature and complete the job. You will see the photo report that customers receive and the invoice draft that Fieldnote creates. Delete the test job afterwards from Job > More > Delete so it does not show up in your reports.
