Implementing Smart Onboarding consists of a number of steps which must be done before you can begin to use the system.  This section lists the steps that can be done.  Details of how to do these steps are provided in the Smart Onboarding Users section and the Videos and PowerPoints Showing How to Perform Key Tasks Video Library section.  While some of these steps are mandatory at implementation time, all of these things can also be changed later, as your needs change and you get more familiar with the system and how it works.

...

The first step is creation of the organization and the first System Administrator user.  The first System Administrator then completes the organization onboarding, which opens up the organization for activity.
