# Quickstart

> Sign in, switch organizations, and find your way around adorabl.

This guide walks you through your first session in adorabl. When you finish, you will know how to sign in, switch organizations, read the dashboard, find any screen, and open settings.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

* An adorabl account (you received an invite from your organization admin, or you signed up and were added to an organization)
* A supported web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge)
* Permission to view the areas you need — your admin controls who can access the ERP platform

## Get started

**1. Sign in to adorabl**

Open adorabl and sign in with the email address your organization uses.

1. Go to [adorabl](https://sherpa-topaz.vercel.app/).
2. If you are not signed in, adorabl sends you to the sign-in page.
3. Enter your email and password, or use the sign-in option your organization configured.
4. After you sign in, adorabl opens the **Dashboard**.

> [!TIP]
>
> Bookmark the sign-in page if you use adorabl daily.

**2. Select your organization**

adorabl is multi-tenant: everyone on your team works in a shared **organization**. All bills, invoices, inventory, and bank data belong to the organization you have selected.

1. Look at the bottom of the left sidebar (desktop) or the top bar (mobile).
2. Click the organization name — for example, **Trail Ridge Outfitters**.
3. Choose the organization you want to work in.

adorabl reloads with that organization's data. If you belong to only one organization, you may not need to switch.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Always confirm the correct organization is selected before entering bills, invoices, or payments. Data does not carry over between organizations.

**3. Read the dashboard**

The **Dashboard** is your morning briefing. It answers four questions at a glance:

| Area | What you see |
| - | - |
| **Cash on hand** | Current cash across connected bank accounts |
| **30-day forecast** | Projected cash after scheduled money in and money out |
| **Open AR** | Unpaid customer invoices |
| **Open AP** | Unpaid supplier bills |

Below the KPI cards, adorabl shows operational health (recent orders, fulfillment, inventory risk, reconciliation lag) and the all-time sales mix by channel.

A new organization may show zeros and empty states until you add customers, suppliers, bills, and bank connections. That is expected.

See [Dashboard overview](https://www.adorabl.info/getting-started/dashboard.md) for detail on each metric.

**4. Navigate with the sidebar**

The left sidebar groups screens the way you work. Collapse or expand a group by clicking its label. Click any screen name to open it.

| Sidebar group | What it covers | Docs area |
| - | - | - |
| **Commerce** | Sales orders, fulfillments, pick, pack, ship, returns | [Commerce](https://www.adorabl.info/commerce/overview.md) |
| **Purchasing** | Purchase orders, receipts, landed cost | [Purchasing](https://www.adorabl.info/purchasing/overview.md) |
| **Inventory** | Items, stock on hand, inventory transactions, counts | [Products](https://www.adorabl.info/products/overview.md) |
| **Finance** | Chart of accounts, cash flow, journal entries, reconciliation, period close | [Banking](https://www.adorabl.info/banking/overview.md) and [Books](https://www.adorabl.info/books/overview.md) |
| **Accounts Payable** | Suppliers, bills, outgoing payments | [Accounts Payable](https://www.adorabl.info/accounts-payable/overview.md) |
| **Accounts Receivable** | Customers, invoices, incoming payments | [Accounts Receivable](https://www.adorabl.info/accounts-receivable/overview.md) |
| **Data & Admin** | Master data, settings | [Admin & settings](https://www.adorabl.info/admin-and-settings/overview.md) |

Each group also has a **setup** shortcut (gear icon) for configuration specific to that area. Organization-wide settings live under **Settings** in **Data & Admin**.

Each screen header includes a **Help** control that opens the matching guide for that page in a new tab.

> [!TIP]
>
> Click the arrow at the top of the sidebar to collapse it to icons only. Hover an icon to see its name. On a phone or tablet, the sidebar becomes a drawer — tap the menu icon in the top bar to open it.

Across the app, required fields are marked with a red asterisk and unmarked fields are optional. Hover or focus the info icon beside a label for guidance on that field.

**5. Search for screens and records**

Use universal search when you know what you need but not where it lives.

1. Press **⌘K** (Mac) or **Ctrl+K** (Windows), or click **Search…** at the top of the sidebar.
2. Type a screen name, a setup page, a create or import action, or a customer, supplier, item, sales order, purchase order, invoice, or bill.
3. Select a result to jump there.

Pages and records are ranked together, so a search for units of measure opens **Settings → Inventory → Units of measure**, and a search for an order number opens that order. An empty query shows **No results found.** Recent searches appear at the top of the panel.

**6. Open organization settings**

Org-wide configuration — users, document numbering, and cross-cutting preferences — lives in **Settings**.

1. In the sidebar, open **Data & Admin**.
2. Click **Settings**.
3. Choose an area (Commerce, Inventory, Purchasing, Finance, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, or Data & Admin) to configure that part of the ERP platform.

See [Organization settings](https://www.adorabl.info/admin-and-settings/organization-settings.md) for what to configure first.

**7. Sign out**

Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar (or top bar on mobile) and choose **Sign out** when you are done.

## Common first-week tasks

Once you are oriented, most teams start with one of these workflows:

> **[Connect bank accounts](https://www.adorabl.info/banking/connect-bank-accounts.md)**
>
> Link your business bank accounts so adorabl can import transactions and show cash balances.

> **[Add suppliers and bills](https://www.adorabl.info/accounts-payable/suppliers.md)**
>
> Set up the suppliers you pay and enter your first bills.

> **[Add customers and invoices](https://www.adorabl.info/accounts-receivable/customers.md)**
>
> Set up customers and create your first invoices.

> **[Organization settings](https://www.adorabl.info/admin-and-settings/organization-settings.md)**
>
> Invite users and configure organization-wide preferences.

## Troubleshooting

> **I signed in but the dashboard is empty**
>
> Confirm the correct organization is selected in the organization switcher. A new organization has no transactions yet — connect bank accounts and add customers or suppliers to populate the dashboard.

> **I do not see the organization I expect**
>
> Your admin must invite you to that organization. Ask them to confirm your email is added with the right access.

> **Search does not find a record**
>
> Search matches records in the organization you have selected. Switch organizations if the record belongs elsewhere, or confirm the record exists on its list screen.

> **I cannot open a screen in the sidebar**
>
> Your role may not include that area. Ask your organization admin to review your access in **Settings**.
