Welcome to the ChMS Quick Start Guide! We'll take you through some easy steps to get you started using the ChMS system. There will be more you can set up and learn later, but for now, let's get started!

Step 1
Once you're in the People module, navigate to the Settings menu in the upper-right corner (Gear icon > Settings) then work your way through each of the following tabs listed below.
