To ensure a successful onboarding, we have added an onboarding checklist to the Glue Up platform that will help you and your organization go live. There are two checklists, depending on the solution your organization has: Event Management or Association Management.
After logging in to the Glue Up platform (admin dashboard), click on the Account Setup button at the top navigation to open the Onboarding Checklist.
