Use this checklist to track your progress, confirm what's already been completed, and identify any remaining tasks that need attention.

Branches

• Have you provided the names and addresses of all the branches you'd like set up in your CRM?

Users

• Have you filled in the user details on the spreadsheet provided by your Onboarding Specialist?
• Have you returned the completed spreadsheet?

Data Migration

• Have you requested a data extract from your current CRM provider?
• If the file was too large to send by email, did you let your Onboarding Specialist know so they could provide a secure upload link?

Letters & Documents

• Have you introduced your IT team to your Onboarding Specialist to begin setting up app passwords for each Outlook email account (required for two-factor authentication)?

• Have you decided whether to integrate DocuSign with your CRM?
