Quick Start

This guide will help you get started with Innovators Parts in just a few minutes.

Step 1: Get an Invitation

Innovators Parts does not have open signups. An admin or owner of your team invites you by email address, and that invitation is what lets you create an account.

Ask an admin to invite you from Organization -> Members -> Invite member.

Step 2: Create Your Account

Open the link in the invitation email. It takes you to a signup form with your email already filled in:

1. Enter your name
2. Create a password
3. Click Create account

You are dropped straight into your team's organization once the account is created -- there is nothing to set up.

Step 3: Invite Team Members

Admins and owners can bring the rest of the team in:

1. Go to the Organization page
2. Click Invite Member
3. Enter the email address of the team member
4. Select their role (Admin or Member)
5. Click Send Invitation

The invited member receives an email with a link to join. Because signups are invitation-only, this is the only way to add someone -- they cannot create an account on their own.

Step 4: Create Your First Order

Now you're ready to start tracking orders:

1. Click the Add Order button
2. Fill in the order details:
   • Part Name - The name of the part you need
   • Description - Optional notes about the part
   • Quantity - How many you need
   • Tags - Optional categorization
3. Click Create

Your order will be created with a "To Order" status.

Step 5: Track Order Progress

As your order progresses, update its status:

• To Order - Part needs to be ordered
• Ordered - Part has been ordered, waiting for arrival
• Arrived - Part has arrived and is available

Simply drag orders between columns to change their status.
