# Your first login: what to do in the first 30 minutes

> The first-day route — recognise the menu, finish the wizard, and leave the school ready for its first enrollment.

## What you will get

To come out of your first login with the school configured and knowing where
everything is. It takes thirty minutes, and most of them go to the setup wizard —
which the system opens for you.

## The first minutes are guided

**You do not have to decide where to start.** The first time you log in, EduPay
takes you straight to the setup wizard and will not let you navigate elsewhere
until you finish it. That is deliberate: almost everything in the system depends
on what is defined there.

There are five steps, and the wizard shows which one you are on.

## After the wizard, learn the menu

Once the wizard is done you land on the panel. It is worth five minutes running
your eye over the left-hand menu before doing anything — it is the map of the
whole system.

![EduPay side menu with every group expanded, from Dashboard down to Settings](/Apps/edupay/ajuda/menu-lateral.png)
*The first four items belong to your account. The groups that expand — Students, Academic, Contracts, Integrations, Metrics — are the day-to-day work.*

Its logic follows the same line as the system: first who studies (**Students**),
then what is studied (**Academic**), then what ties the two together with money
(**Contracts**), then what connects to the outside world (**Integrations**), and
finally what shows the result (**Metrics**).

## What to do with the minutes left

With the wizard done, three things are missing before you can actually enroll
someone. In this order:

1. **Create the first academic offering**, under **Academic › Academic
   Offerings**. That is the course you sell.
2. **Build the price table**, under **Contracts › Financial Plans**. Amount, how
   many installments, due day.
3. **Check the contract template**, under **Contracts › Contract Templates**, if
   you created one in the wizard.

After that, **Contracts › Enrollments** works.

## How to tell it worked

> [certo]
> You can open **Contracts › Enrollments**, click to create one, and the screen
> offers a student, a course and a price table to choose from — with no empty
> lists. If all three have options, the school is ready.

## If something goes wrong

> [erro]
> **The system will not let me leave the wizard.** That is expected until it is
> finished. Go to the end; the last step can be skipped.
>
> **I logged in and saw no wizard.** Either someone has already finished it, or
> you do not administer the account. Only the school owner goes through the
> wizard.
>
> **The course list is empty when I try to enroll.** The wizard does not create
> courses — it configures the school. The academic offering is the next step,
> under **Academic › Academic Offerings**.
