Your day-one checklist

1. Review your Dashboard

After completing the onboarding wizard, your Dashboard is your home base. It gives you an overview of activity across your account jobs in progress, upcoming tasks, and key business metrics. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the layout.

2. Complete your Company Profile

Go to Settings → Company Profile to review and fill in any details not covered during onboarding including your company logo, business hours, services offered, and contact information. Your company profile appears on estimates, invoices, and customer-facing communications.

3. Set up your Communication Email

Go to Settings → Communication and click Email Setup. Enter your Communication Email ID and click Save & Verify Email. You will need to verify this email address before it can be used to send estimates, invoices, and other customer communications from Swivl.

4. Invite your team

Go to Settings → Team & Access to open the Users & Roles page. Click + Invite New User to invite team members. Assign each person one of four roles like Super Admin, Admin, Lead Technician, or Technician depending on their responsibilities. Each invited user receives an email with a link to set up their account.

You can track pending invitations under the Invited Users tab.

6. Create your first job

Go to Work Order → Jobs and click + Create New to create a new job. Link it to the customer you just added, describe the work, and assign it to a team member. You can also schedule tasks within the job and dispatch them from the Task Scheduler.

7. Set up your Price Book

Go to Product & Services in the sidebar to open the Pricebook. Add your services and pricing manually by clicking New Product/Service, or import them directly from QuickBooks using Import from QuickBooks. A well-maintained Pricebook speeds up estimate and invoice creation later.
