It gives new users a clear path from a fresh account to a working configuration in a single session. ### Business value A structured first session means your team gets to value faster. Teams that skip these steps often spend days revisiting basics: reconnecting subscriptions, reconfiguring service principals, or discovering features after the fact. Completing these actions up front eliminates the most common onboarding blockers. ## Prerequisites Before starting, the following must be in place: - A Turbo360 account with an active organization. See [Create Turbo360 account](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/create-turbo360-account). - Initial setup completed. See [Initial setup](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/initial-setup). - For the Azure-based modules, an Azure subscription connected with a configured service principal. See [Connect Azure subscription](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/connect-azure-subscription) and [Service principal setup](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/service-principal-setup). - For Tenant Manager, an app registration in your Microsoft 365 tenant's Microsoft Entra ID instead of an Azure subscription. See [Connect a Microsoft 365 tenant](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/connect-a-microsoft-365-tenant). ## How it works Turbo360 is organized around five modules: Cost Analyzer, Business Applications, Business Activity Monitoring, Azure Documenter, and Tenant Manager. Each module is independent. You activate the ones relevant to your team's work and configure them separately. Tenant Manager works with Microsoft 365 tenants rather than Azure subscriptions, and it is switched on per account. If it isn't on for yours, select **Request access** on its card on the Home page. See [Request access to Tenant Manager](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/request-access-to-tenant-manager). The home screen dashboard gives you a cross-module view once modules are running. The common first session follows three phases: orient yourself in the interface, configure the Home screen dashboard, and launch your first module quick start. ## Steps Use the following steps to complete your first session in Turbo360. Sign in to the Turbo360 portal. The Home dashboard opens by default. ### Explore the interface Familiarizing yourself with the navigation structure before configuring modules saves time and prevents confusion later. 1. Review the left navigation panel. It lists **Home** at the top, followed by the five modules. 2. Open the **Navigation guide** ([navigation-guide](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/navigation-guide)) to understand the top bar, global search, and settings panel. 3. Select the **Settings** gear icon (⚙) in the top bar and review the available platform settings: General settings, Users, Notification channels, Service principals, and API keys. 4. Select your user avatar in the top-right corner to access your profile, change your password, or sign out. ### Configure your Home screen dashboard Setting up the dashboard gives you a cross-module operational view from day one, reducing the need to navigate into each module individually. 1. From the Home screen, select **Edit** > **Add widget**, or select **Add widgets** if no widgets have been added yet. 2. Choose a module and select the widgets you want to display. 3. Configure each widget by selecting the data scope (for example, a cost management group or Business Application group) and chart format. 4. Select **Save** to apply. 5. Drag widgets to reorder them. Resize by dragging the edges. Note: Widget availability depends on which modules are configured. If a module's widgets don't appear in the selector, complete that module's initial setup first. ### Invite your team Adding team members early ensures everyone has access before your first operational review. 1. Select the **Settings** gear icon (⚙) in the top navigation bar. 2. Select **Users**. 3. Select **Add user**, enter the user's email address, and assign the appropriate role. 4. Select **Add**. The user receives an email to complete their account setup. Note: To give a user Tenant Manager access, turn on **Tenant Manager** in the **Specify product permissions** dialog and choose a role: Owner, Contributor, or Reader. You can also manage Tenant Manager users and roles from **User management** in Tenant Manager, which has **Users** and **Roles** tabs. ### Launch your first module Choose the module most relevant to your team's immediate priority and complete its quick start.
