In May 2021, we added custom "Welcome pages" for the trusts with less distractions, simplifying the user sign-up. To access the welcome page from the sidebar, click on the icon near the top right corner.
A welcome page has only the domain cover picture and buttons to get the mobile apps or to create an account on the website. At the bottom of the welcome page there is a high definition "QR code" picture which can be downloaded, printed, and shared with your users.
Generate summary reports and posters
In the Wrench menu-> Administration panel, administrators can select to generate reports and posters.
These are custom pages with screenshots from your app and your website, with short summaries about the content, work done and usage of your toolbox, how to contact the editors, and a QR code to your welcome page. The texts in the generated templates can be manually edited if needed, then the page can be exported to PDF. Follow the instructions on top of that page on how to configure the "export to PDF" dialogue box.
After you save the PDF, you may want to print it in colour, on a larger format glossy paper (say, A3 or A2, maybe with the help of a printing house), and fix it on the wall where your trainees and other staff can see it.
This function generates a single page "summary" report or poster. Additionally, you can use the Analytics function. It generates detailed monthly reports about your users and activity, with charts and tables, and the popularity and review status of your pages. Similarly, you can export it to a PDF file (very likely multi-page).

This is an example of the information you could use to create the firm survival guides. You can email to other doctors so they write a guide. Consider printing and handing these out in teaching.
