Getting started with QCIN

1. 1

   Sign in

   Go to Sign in and choose Continue with Google, your email and password, or Email me a magic link (a one-time sign-in link). New here? Create an account — if you sign up with email you'll get a confirmation link first. Once signed in, your profile picture or initial appears at the top-right: click it to see your account details, workspace and role, open your preferences or this guide, or sign out.

2. 2

   Create your company workspace

   If you signed up with a company name, your workspace is ready. If you signed in with Google, the dashboard asks for your company name — click Create workspace. Whoever creates the workspace becomes its owner, and QCIN sets up a first plant called “Main Plant”.

3. 3

   Invite your employees

   As the owner, click the small floating button at the bottom-right of the dashboard and choose Invite employees (or go to Settings → Users & roles). Enter their work email and pick a role. If they already have a verified QCIN account they're added straight away. Otherwise they get an invitation email and join automatically once they sign up with that email — or continue with Google using it — and verify it. Invitations expire after 14 days, and you can cancel a pending one at any time.

4. 4

   Manage members

   In Settings → Users & roles, admins can change roles or remove members. Only the owner can make someone a Company Admin, and nobody can remove the owner or change the owner's role. Invited members share the same dashboard and records, limited by their role. They don't see the owner's floating management button.

5. 5

   Set up your workspace

   In Settings: name your company and turn on workflow rules (for example, automatically raise an NCR when an inspection fails, require containment and effectiveness checks, and how many days before overdue NCRs escalate). Add your plants and lines, and add custom fields to NCRs, complaints and lots. Each person can turn email notifications on or off under My preferences.
