Getting Started with Vantagepoint
When you first implement Vantagepoint, you use a set of Activation and Setup pages to walk you through your initial setup decisions.
If you are the Vantagepoint administrator for your enterprise, you are responsible for initial Activation and Setup tasks. When you complete the process, your enterprise can begin using Vantagepoint for daily activities.
Supported browsers: Vantagepoint supports the latest version of browsers such as Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Internet Explorer is not supported.

Follow these general steps:
- Log in to Vantagepoint. The Activation menu displays at the left side of the Startup page.
- Complete each Activation step in the same order as the menu. No other users can log in to Vantagepoint until Activation is completed.
- After you complete the final step, Activate Organizations, log out.
- Log back in using the Setup username. The Setup menu displays at the left side of the page.
- Complete each Setup step in the same order as the menu.
- Let other users log in and begin their activities.
To take advantage of advanced features, and to tailor Vantagepoint to the specific needs of your enterprise, you will most likely choose to perform additional setup and integration steps, outside of Activation and Setup. You perform these steps in Settings and in other areas of the Vantagepoint software.
