The onboarding wizard guides you through the configuration process to get your organization up and running with Skedulo. If your organization is new to Skedulo, it will most likely have been run by your implementation consultant during the initial setup. It can, however, be re-run subsequent to initial setup if it is preferred over adding config via the Settings page.
Important
Please note that only those users with the admin privilege can run the onboarding wizard.
Access the onboarding wizard at any time via the following URL:
https://<team>.my.skedulo.com/onboarding (substitute "team" with your organization's allocated team name).
As you successfully access the onboarding wizard, it installs all the packages and components to enable you to use Skedulo.

After the successful completion of the installation process, you need to set up some necessary configuration to access Skedulo's features. Those configuration steps are described below:
Step 1: Configure users
The first step of the onboarding wizard is to Configure Users. There are three types of Skedulo users.
-
Schedulers: they are responsible for scheduling and dispatching jobs.
-
Resources: they are the recipients of those jobs in the field
-
Administrators: they configure and manage the Skedulo application. Admin privilege should be granted to system administrators and internal administrators. At least one user is required to be an administrator
You can add the users by inviting them via email and then later determine their type. To invite the users, follow the steps below:
- Click Invite users.
- Enter the First name, Last name, and Email address of the intended users.

Invite as many users as necessary. The invited users will be listed on the Configure users page.

- Set the intended role for the users by selecting different roles of either Scheduler, Resource, and/or Administrator.
Note
- If an Administrator needs to access the web app console, they need to be configured as a Scheduler as well.
- Only users selected as type "Resource" will be visible in the scheduling web app. - Click Save and Continue.
A region is a geographical area that is used to control and manage resources and assets. Each region is identified by one time zone.
To add regions to your organization, enter the Region name, Description and choose a Timezone for each of the regions. Set as many regions as necessary and click Save and continue.
