Before you start

Steps

1

Open the sign-up page

Go to the application address and choose Create a workspace. On the left you see what the system covers, from leads and quotations to payments and reports. The form is on the right.

2

Fill in your business details

Type your Organization name, for example Al-Noor Marquee & Events. The Workspace name fills in by itself from the name and shows Available when nobody else uses it; change it if you prefer something shorter. Enter Your name, choose the Currency and Time zone, then your Email, a Password and the same password again in Confirm password. Tick the box to accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Read the checks

If something is missing, a red line under the field says what to fix, for example Enter a valid email, for example you@example.com. A weak password, two passwords that do not match, or an unticked terms box are flagged before anything is created.

Create the workspace

Press Create workspace once. Within a few seconds you are signed in as the administrator and see your dashboard, with your business name in the top bar. A getting-started card lists the first steps: company details, your venue and hall, your prices, your team and your first lead or event. All figures start at zero because you have no events yet. Further down, the Subscription & add-ons card shows Free trial (all modules): every module is included while the trial lasts.

Check your organization profile

Open Admin, then Settings. Your organization name, currency and time zone are already there. Add your phone, email, city and address so they appear on your documents.

See the roles that are ready

Open Admin, then Roles. Five roles are ready: Administrator, Event Manager, Sales Executive, Accountant and Event Coordinator. Give each team member only the role that matches their job.

Add your venue

Open Catalogue, then Venues. A new workspace starts with no venue: press New venue and add your own premises, then create its halls. Catering services, dishes and wedding packages are already in your catalogue, so you can edit their prices instead of typing a price list from scratch.
