New Users

If you have hired a new staff person who will be working with GetActive, here's how to get them started:

1. Notify Ruby and your field manager of the new coworker
    
2. Read the Guide for New Public Affairs Staff
    
3. Request a new ToolsForChoice.org account
   • Go to the Tools for Choice Profile Editor.
      
4. Request a new GetActive manager account
   • Log into GetActive and use the form at Dashboard > Help > Support. Submit your request for a new manager account, including the person's name, e-mail address, and phone number.
   • If the new hire is a replacement, submit your request to remove the old manager's account from the same form.
      
5. Show your coworker how to find training and support in GetActive
   • Review the schedule of trainings.
   • Make sure your coworker utilizes the appropriate GetActive trainings:

     2. Dashboard > Help > Training > View Online Tutorials.
     3. Dashboard > Help > Training > Register for Web Training Classes.
   • Review the PPFA GetActive README which will complement training already offered by GetActive.
      
6. Show your coworker how you use GetActive
   • Spend at least an hour reviewing what you do with it, what you would like to do or see done with it.
