Whether you just received your production environment of MetaField or, are new to the system, you may wonder where and how to begin. Before you begin logging any data or configurations, you'll want to perform a few beginning tasks.

1. Creating a Test Client | A key entity in the system, is a Client in the system. In order for a project to exist (Step 2), you must create a Client that can be linked to a Project. In this exercise, it is perfectly safe to create a test or dummy client, such as "Test Client" or "Practice Exercise Client". It's entirely up to you on what you'd like to name your test client. |

2. Creating a Test Project | MetaField ties nearly all of it's logged data to projects. Projects primarily serve as the root of uniqueness for data within the system. Once you have at least one project in the system, you can begin testing. Similar to Step 1 above, create a test or dummy project in your system. Again, feel free to name this project however you'd like. Something like "Test Project" or "Training Project" works well. The purpose of creating a test project, is that it allows you and other staff to log data and test the system, without worrying about a mess or, getting anything confused / crossed over with your real projects. Your test project serves as a "Sandbox" for training and testing, and will aid you in configuring your system. |
