# Your first 7 days

> A step-by-step onboarding path — from Home and your profile to a fully staffed first gig.

Follow this checklist to go from empty account to running gigs in a week.

<Note>
  Every time you sign in, you land on **Home** — your personalized starting point. On a brand-new workspace, Home shows a **Get started** checklist that mirrors these first days and checks off as you complete each one.
</Note>

***

## Day 0: Pick your surface

* **Web** — [app.soundchecklive.io](https://app.soundchecklive.io). Best for building gigs, importing data, CRM work, and configuring your org. The daily driver for admins.
* **Mobile** — install on iOS or Android. Best for accepting invitations, reading setlists at the venue, chat, and on-the-road responses.

Use both — same account, same data.

## Day 7: Live in the flow

Now that data is flowing, make Home and the inbox part of your routine.

* **Home** — check the greeting, at-a-glance stats, recent activity, and (on Pro+) finance roll-ups each morning.
* **Mailbox** — respond to invitations, crew offers, and availability from one inbox. Admins also get the org-wide **Mailbox** at `/org-engagements`.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Free plan">
    - Explore calendar views and gig duplication
    - Watch Home fill in as your first gig progresses
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Pro plan">
    * Create your first [call list](/organization/teams/call-lists)
    * Use Home's finance roll-ups to spot expected payouts
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Team plan">
    * Create a sample [lead](/crm/leads/overview) and walk the pipeline
    * Send an availability request or crew offer and watch it land in [Mailbox](/features/engagements/overview)
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
