How to Configure a Company with the RapidStart Wizard | Microsoft Docs

You can quickly configure a new company that you have created by using the RapidStart Services configuration wizard.

In the following procedure, you have provided the customer with the configuration package, which is then installed on a computer. The customer opens the new company, which contains no customer data. You or the customer then follows the steps in the RapidStart Services wizard, which are described in this procedure, to provide basic information about the company. The wizard imports the configuration package and then applies the package to the company.

To configure a new company

  1. On the RapidStart Services Implementer Role Center, choose the RapidStart Wizard action.
  2. Expand the Step 1 FastTab, which contains general information about the new company. Enter the appropriate information about the new company in the fields. There is one field that you are required to fill out, Name. The rest of the fields are optional.
  3. Expand the Step 2 FastTab, which contains communication and contact information for the new company. Enter the appropriate information about the new company in the fields.
  4. Expand the Step 3 FastTab, which contains bank account and payment information for the new company. Enter the appropriate information about the new company in the fields.

  5. Expand the Step 4 FastTab. Choose the AssistEdit button to select the configuration package you want to apply. The name of the configuration package is displayed. You can then perform the following actions, in the listed order:

    1. Apply the configuration by choosing the Apply Package action. This imports the configuration package and applies the package database data all at the same time.

    2. Review the configuration after it has been applied. This option lets you review configuration details and questionnaires provided by the partner and import some master data that is required for your company. Choose the Configuration Worksheet action. For more information, see To complete the configuration questionnaire.

  6. Expand the Step 5 FastTab. Specify which Role Center that you want to be the default for the new company.

    IMPORTANT

    Only change your Role Center after you have completed configuration of the company. If you have more setup details to consider and modify, first use the configuration worksheet to continue your work. Then, return to the wizard to update your Role Center profile, or choose the Complete Setup action.

  7. Choose the OK button.

  8. To verify that the configuration information has been applied to the new company, Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature icon, enter Company Information, and then choose the related link.
