Now what?
Once completing the first part of the training, it’s time to start implementing what we learned and start creating real live orders in the system.
...
Please, spend the time off to train and test the system and the topics we reviewed so you can come up with questions and requests we can target specifically.
Configuration checklist
Resources:
From: Manager > Rolodex tables > Resources > Copy
Create all resources by copying them from similar existing users (copy a manager for a manager and a basic user for a basic user).
Welcome mail with a password link
Upon creation, a Welcome mail is sent to the user.
If you don’t want them to currently receive OOONA’s welcome mail with their username, switch off “Send password link by email” in the Resource copy page (in some systems it’s a checkbox).

Helpful tips
Develop work routines
Who does what? Who creates orders, who assigns, who schedules the order and task dates, who uploads the assets.
How does it transition from the order creator to the additional steps: scheduling, assigning, etc…
Who adds the messages?
When do you switch to “In progress” so that assigned resources will see the order?
Always prefer creating your orders in advance, for example, the whole series. That way, once the assets are available you upload them and the order is ready.
Manual task dates or Lead days?
I advise starting with manual task dates and gradually transitioning to task lead days (i.e., automized scheduling in which the task dates are auto-populated once you enter the Order date), once you start gaining more confidence in the system.
...
When it comes to order dates, I do suggest linking the Order internal supply date to the Order supply date (done from the Workflow templates page), with lead days between them or without.
Accurate dates at all times!
Get used to having all your Order and Task dates accurate in the system.
