First-use onboarding
Confirm your responsibilities, choose a work perspective, pin starting work and set up the Scout companion (ON01–ON04).
Assigned user
/pdcc/account/responsibilitiesThe first time you open the workspace, a short guided setup walks you through four steps. Every step saves preferences only — none of them changes your access.
Onboarding steps
1. Confirm your responsibilities (ON01)
Review the name, office, responsibilities and authority your agency assigned (e.g. *Contract specialist and research owner; no CO warrant*).
2. Choose your work perspective (ON02)
Select which authorized lens to start in (e.g. Contract specialist vs Research owner).
3. Choose your starting work (ON03)
Pin frequent guided jobs (e.g. *Research a new need*, *Review assigned packages*) to My Day.
4. Set up your companion (ON04)
Configure Scout display name, context, preference memory and morning brief — or continue without it.
5. Review and complete
Preferences save once; you resume only an accessible saved job.
Step details
- Responsibilities
- Read-only. If something is wrong choose Request assignment correction — you cannot grant yourself roles, warrants, designations or records.
- Perspective
- A lens filters presentation only. Persona previews use separate synthetic records and cannot perform live actions.
- Quick starts
- Only jobs available to you are listed. Pinned shortcuts recheck permission when invoked; a later role change invalidates inaccessible shortcuts.
- Companion
- Requires the Sigma module and an approved processing route. Setup is optional and never delays manual work. Assistance style controls suggestions, not execution authority.
