Quick Start Guide
Get Zynclog up and running in under five minutes. This guide walks you through creating your first project and sending a timeline to your client.
1. Create a Workspace
When you first log in, you will be taken to your main dashboard. This is command central.
- Click the New Project button.
- Give your project a clear, client-facing name (e.g., "Zynclog App Redesign").
- (Optional) Add a brief description of the retainer or engagement scope.
2. Draft a Contract (or Welcome Letter)
Before you share the portal, you might want to establish the terms.
- Go to the Templates tab and create a new reusable "Welcome Letter" or standard "Contract".
- Or, navigate to the Contracts tab inside your new Project, and draft a contract from scratch.
- Zynclog's rich text editor allows you to format your legal terms, lists, and tables seamlessly.
3. Brand Your Workspace
Make sure your client sees your brand, not ours.
- Go to Settings > Branding.
- Upload your Logo and select an Accent Color.
- Your client portal will now automatically inherit these colors.
4. Share the Client Portal
Stop sending long, confusing email updates. Let your clients see the progress themselves.
- In your Project view, click the Share button at the top right.
- Ensure Password Protection is enabled for sensitive documents.
- Copy the secure, read-only link and send it to your client. They do not need a Zynclog account to view it!
