Getting Started

Getting Started with SpecGraph

This section will get you up and running with SpecGraph. Whether you're a project lead kicking off a new initiative or a department contributor who's just received a survey invitation, you'll find everything you need here.

What You Need

SpecGraph is a web application — no installation required. You access it entirely through your browser. Before you can use it, you'll need:

• An account — accounts are created by your organization's administrator or via an invitation link sent to your email. There is no self-registration.
• An organization — SpecGraph organizes users into organizations (representing your company or team). Your account is tied to at least one organization.
• A department — within your organization, you're assigned to a department (e.g., Engineering, Design, Legal). Your department determines which surveys and projects you participate in.

Logging In

Navigate to the SpecGraph login page and enter your email and password. If you received an invitation email, follow the link in that email first to set your password before logging in.

If you've forgotten your password, contact your organization administrator — they can reset your credentials.

The Dashboard

After logging in, you'll land on the Dashboard. This is your home base:

• Active Projects — cards showing all projects in your organization, with their current phase highlighted.
• Pending Approvals — if you're a required approver on any project, your outstanding approvals appear here.
• Recent Activity — a feed of the latest actions across your projects.
• Notifications — alerts for new surveys assigned to you, conflicts that need resolution, and approvals awaiting your sign-off.

Sections in This Guide

• Quick Start — create your first project and walk through the full workflow in one session.
