Setting up a new org

Setup is an interview, not a form. You answer questions about your org signed out, and only sign in once there's something to save.

  1. Go to chaptos.com/create. Nothing is created yet — you're just answering.
  2. Say what kind of org you are. That choice picks your starting roles, your vocabulary and which pages you begin with.
  3. Name it and pick a URL. Lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens, 3–32 characters. Some words are reserved (admin, api, help, trust, and similar) so a workspace can never shadow a system page.
  4. Sign in with Google at the Build step. This is the first moment anything is written.
  5. Pick which pages your org shows on the screen that follows. You can change all of it later.

What gets built

  • The org itself, with you as its first admin.
  • A set of roles for your org type, each already carrying a sensible bundle of permissions.
  • The pages you chose, and only those. Turning more on later doesn't cost you history.

One thing is deliberately not created: a term. The first screen you'll see inside is the app asking for one — that's expected, and it's a hard block.

Didn't find it?

Search covers the full text of every article — if it isn't there, it probably isn't written yet, and that's worth telling us.
