# 1. Onboard users and guests

Onboarding is the process in which team members are involved in the software adoption project and get acquainted with all the features of the software, the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviours required for their role.

What you'll need to do in the first place is to invite the people who already work with you on real projects, contracts or purchase orders, to collaborate online on NotifyMe:

* Set up your **network of  companies** (either your business  units or your business partners,  such as customers, vendors or inspection bodies).
* Onboard **users** (people from  your business units) and **guests** (people from your business  partners) to collaborate on  NotifyMe.

These people may either be internal to your organization - if they belong to your own business unit or to other business units in your organization - or be external and belong to any of your business partners, including your customers, suppliers or inspection bodies.
