Getting Started with Simple Status

What are initiatives?

Initiatives are major projects or efforts active in your company or organization. You can establish initiatives that are available to all employees in the Company Administration screen. You can also define lists of initiatives that are only visible to members of a specific organization. This can be done by the user designated as the Organization Owner in the Preferences screen.

How do I invite my employees?  What will they need to do to get started?

If you are designated as a company administrator or your account profile is "Super User" you can add additional users in the Company Administration screen.  New users will receive an invitation email where they can follow a hyperlink to complete their registration and begin using their Simple Status account.  After they sign in, they can begin creating status reports immediately.

Do I need to put my company logo in a specific format or size?

You will not need to change your company logo size, you can simply upload it and it will be resized as needed. You may find that transparent GIF or PNG files may need to include a solid colored background for best appearance.

Can I add more than 10 users?

During the free beta period, a maximum of 10 users are allowed per account.  Once the beta period is over, you will be able to license an unlimited number of users..

What is the "Super User" role allowed to do?

The 'Super User' role allows a user to manage the company options in the Company Administration screen, as well as add and update user information. Super Users are not able to see status reports or other information for other users (except their own direct reports).
