First steps

When first starting out with the Infopoint platform, there are some initial steps we recommend that you always undertake in order to properly set up your team account, and help you avoid issues or unnecesary wok in the future.

These steps include defining the languages you want to support, any custom domains that you want to use, and defining the Categories that you will want to have available for categorizing records and media objects.


Define the basic details of your team

When first starting out with the app, you will be a member of a single team. A team corresponds to the organisation that you represent, or a group of individuals within that organisation. You can define some basic details about your team by following these steps:



Manage the members of your team

If you are the owner or administrator of a team, you are able to add or remove individuals from the team. This allows you to create groups of individuals who will have access to the same team account and all the resources associated with it.

The steps to manage the members of your team are:



Define the languages you want to support

Infopoint allows you to store information about records and media objects in multiple languages, and then allows you to create multilingual guides to communicate that information to your audience.

One of your very first steps should be to define the languages you want to support, and critically, which should be your default language. Changing the default language in the future may lead to content being lost.

The steps to define the languages you want to support are:



Define any custom domains you want to use

You can communicate information with non-team members through an online portal and through digital guides that you create and manage through the Infopoint platform. Both your portal and your digital guides are online resources that will be accessible from the https:/i.infopointapp.com domain name.

If you want, you can define your own custom domain name from which to make your resources available. The steps to define your own custom domain name are:



Define the Categories you want available to you for categorizing records and media objects

When archiving information and files in your Infopoint Database and Media Library, you will be able to associate records with custom Categories and Tags to help you better organise and filter your archive later on. You can create Tags at the point at which you are adding items and files to your archive, but you need to define the Categories available for categorisation before hand.

To define the Categories that you will be able to assign files and records into, follow these steps:
