Using Essential Overview

1min

If you are just starting with Essential then work out what you aim to achieve and set up your homepage and portals, typically this will be ~2-5 reports.

You then capture your data, either in the data capture screens, via Launchpad (good for bulk data load), using the editors (Cloud/Docker only) or via the APIs (Cloud/Docker)

You publish the data and the use the views to get insight.

This section walks you though how to configure Essential, get data in and get the viewer set-up
