In a few minutes you will be inside the ERP, in the language you prefer.

You can change it whenever you want.
  1. In the top bar, click the language selector (for example, English).

That way you can find the feature whatever language you choose. ## The first dashboard After login, you land on a dashboard in the *Dashboard* group. For the Company user, there are seven dashboards by area: Project, Account, HRM, Recruitment, POS, CRM and Support. They start empty and fill up as you record invoices, purchases, tasks and tickets. See [Dashboards by area](#/dashboards). ## Log out Click your name or avatar in the top right corner and choose the log out option. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the address to log in to ERP Instfy? The login page is at https://erp.instfy.com/login. New companies create their account at https://erp.instfy.com/register. ### I am a team member. Do I need to create an account? No. Your company administrator adds you in *User Management > Users* and gives you the login email. If you did not receive your details, talk to them. ### How do I change the system language? Click the language selector in the top bar, which shows the current language (for example, English), and choose the language you want. ### Why is the dashboard empty? Dashboards show data recorded in the modules. A new account has no invoices, purchases or tasks yet, so the numbers show as zero. Follow the [Implementation roadmap](#/erp-onboarding). ### I entered the wrong password several times. What should I do? Use the forgot password option on the login screen to create a new one. If the problem continues, see [Troubleshooting](#/troubleshooting). ## Next steps With access working, get to know the screen and set up your company. :::related interface, settings, erp-onboarding, user-roles :::
