Getting Started with Calidad SA

New here? This guide walks you through choosing a goal, setting up your company, and creating your first result in Calidad SA.

Start Now

What to expect

Getting started is a short, guided setup. It is designed to get you to a real result quickly, not to make you configure everything up front.

  • Pick the goal that matches what you are trying to solve
  • Set up your company workspace with the basics
  • Create your first item, either manually or from an uploaded document
  • Invite your team once you have something worth sharing
Tip
You can leave and resume onboarding at any time. Your progress is saved as you go.

1 Choose a goal

Start at the Setup Assistant and tell us what you want to get out of Calidad SA first. Pick a goal, or describe your problem in your own words and we will recommend a starting point.

  • Each goal shows an estimated time and what you will need to gather
  • Not sure which goal fits? Use the free-text box and click Help me choose
Tip
Choosing the closest goal is fine. You can always explore other tools later from Control Center.

2 Set up your company

Company setup collects the basic information Calidad SA needs to run your workspace, such as your company name and industry.

  • Only a few fields are required to finish this step
  • You can update company details later from Account Settings
Tip
If you belong to more than one company, make sure you are completing setup for the right one.

3 Create your first item

This is where you get your first real result. Upload an existing document to have Calidad SA extract data automatically, or fill out a short manual form instead.

  • Uploading a document is usually the fastest path to a first result
  • The manual form works well if you do not have a document handy
Tip
Do not worry about getting every field perfect. You can edit any item after it is created.

4 Onboard with documents

If you already track quality records in spreadsheets or PDFs, you can upload them directly to jump-start your account instead of starting from a blank workspace.

  • Supported documents are scanned for existing data to reduce manual entry
  • You can always add or correct records after the upload finishes
Tip
Larger uploads may take a few minutes to process. You can continue setup while it runs.

5 Invite your team

Once you have something to show, invite teammates so they can see the same workspace and start contributing.

  • Invitations are sent by email and track how many seats you have used
  • Invited teammates land in the same company workspace once they accept
Tip
You can skip this step and invite your team later from Account Settings.

Troubleshooting

I do not see a recommended goal after describing my problem.
Choose one of the listed goals directly. You can still get a similar result by starting from the closest match.
My document upload does not seem to extract anything.
Not every document format can be automatically read. Use the manual form to enter the item instead, or try uploading a clearer copy.
An invited teammate did not receive their email.
Ask them to check their spam folder, or resend the invitation from the invite team step.
