Phocas QuickStart combines in-product tours, video tutorials and documentation to enable new Phocas users to understand and start using key features from day one. Whether you are a new user or just want a refresher, this guide will help you get off to a flying start!

Resource Center

The best place to quickly get started with Phocas is the Resource Center, where you can find the in-product tours, video tutorials and documentation all in one place. This content is contextual, so depending on whether you are on the homepage or in a database, the QuickStart menu will show you relevant content.

Simply click on the Resource Center button in the Phocas menu to view your options. For example, you can:

  • Open a checklist with guided tours that step you through the basics

  • View video tutorials in the Phocas Academy

  • Read the user documentation.

TIP: We recommend that you start with the QuickStart checklist. Completing the guided tours in the checklist is a great way to get familiar with the software and see how it works. You can also choose to watch the video tutorials during these tours.

Phocas Academy

If you prefer to go straight to video tutorials, you can find these at the Phocas Academy. You can access the Phocas Academy from the Resource Center, or you can visit the Phocas Academy website.

Documentation

Finally, if you prefer to read, you can access this user documentation site, which provides detailed, written information on the key things you need to know to get going with Phocas.

However you choose to get started, Phocas QuickStart enables you to learn at your own pace and in the way that best suits your needs.
