User onboarding experience

When you begin using ThoughtSpot, the onboarding process starts automatically and guides you through a few basic scenarios.

Usually, you receive an email welcoming you to the onboarding process at ThoughtSpot.

To repeat user onboarding, see Revisit onboarding.

How onboarding works for the user

Your onboarding experience begins when you sign in for the first time.

  1. Step 1: Get Started
    The initial welcome screen provides an overview of the onboarding process, and offers a quick video.

    Watch the video, and select Continue.

    Alternatively, you can select Exit to homepage in the upper-right corner of the screen, and end the onboarding process. This option appears at this and every subsequent step.

    The administrator selects this source before you begin.

    Select Continue.

  3. Step 3: Select a Liveboard
    Consider which of the initial Liveboards to explore first, and select it.

  4. Step 4: View your insights

Repeating the onboarding process

[Optional] Any user can repeat their onboarding experience at any time. Simply select Profile from the user icon in the upper-right corner of the upper navigation bar, and under Experience, select Revisit onboarding experience. See Revisit onboarding.

If you are a new user and you did not experience onboarding, please contact your administrator and request that they configure it for you and other new users.

You can always get additional help. As you start to use ThoughtSpot, we recommend that you review More help and support.
