To **onboard someone into a process**, the goal is to make the system explain itself. Onboarding that depends entirely on shadowing a colleague does not scale and does not survive that colleague leaving.

## Why onboarding takes weeks

New people are shown the interface and left to infer the process.

- Training delivered verbally and never documented
- Exceptions learned by encountering them
- Access granted broadly to avoid repeated requests
- The process existing only in one person's habits

## What shortens it

| Mechanism                  | What it replaces                           |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Guided home page**       | Being told where to start                  |
| **Scoped permissions**     | Learning which parts to ignore             |
| **Conditional forms**      | Being told which fields apply when         |
| **Attached documentation** | Asking a colleague the same question twice |
| **An AI agent**            | Interrupting someone for routine answers   |

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Configure the onboarding home in **Jestor** with a welcome message and a selected set of apps.
2. Invite the person as a member, assigned to a role scoped to their function.
3. Rely on conditional forms so they are never asked for information that does not apply.
4. Attach the process documentation to an **AI** agent they can ask directly.
5. Filter their views so they see the records they are responsible for.

## Why choose Jestor for team onboarding?

**Jestor** treats the home as onboarding for your own employees — the configuration lives under onboarding settings rather than under appearance, which reflects what it is for.

Because the same document can serve as reading material and as an agent's knowledge base, maintaining one keeps both current.
