# The dashboard Getting started list

> In Weplanify, the dashboard Getting started list shows what is left to do to get going, and each of its lines ticks itself once the step is done.

In Weplanify, as long as your workspace is not ready, the dashboard shows administrators the **Getting started** list, with its progress ("3 of 7").

## The steps

- **Add your employees**: [one by one](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.creer?lang=en) or by [importing a file](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.importer?lang=en).
- **Choose who approves leave**: the [absence request circuit](https://weplanify.io/docs/absences.circuit-de-validation?lang=en).
- **Check the public holidays** of your country ([public holidays](https://weplanify.io/docs/absences.jours-feries?lang=en)).
- **Publish a first planning** ([publish the schedule](https://weplanify.io/docs/planning.publier?lang=en)) and **receive a first time entry**, with the site QR code or the app.
- **Enter the base salaries** in the [contracts](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.contrats?lang=en), if you run payroll.

## Good to know

- Click a line still to do to open the matching screen.
- If the setup wizard is not finished, **Resume** takes you back to it.
- **Hide this list** removes it from the dashboard, for this browser; it disappears by itself once everything is done.
