Introduction:  Getting Started on the Quaker Cloud

Welcome to the Cloud!  In a few minutes we will have you up and running your meeting’s site.  First, let’s get you set up.

Notes on this Manual

The first step as a Cloud admin is to access your personal account. To save time we have already done this for you, but you will need to access your password on your own.   Once you do this you will be able to set up your meeting’s site.

I will be building a site with you and sharing the screenshots.  You will be able to see each of these steps on screenshots of the test to give you a better idea of the steps you are going to be doing. 

To put this into context, I am working on a Windows 7 PC using Google Chrome. 

If you have questions about accessibility, please email cloudsupport@fgcquaker.org.

Please consider the environment when printing this manual. 

Get Support!

Send each of your questions to Cloudsupport@fgcquaker.org.  Someone will get back to you ASAP.

Creating your password

Go to the FGC website: https://www.fgcquaker.org/ and click Login.  Follow the instructions to reset your password.  A pdf that is attached that explains in detail this process - feel free to share it with members who want to access their accounts.

Logging on to your site

·   If you need a reminder of your site’s address or URL email cloudsupport@fgcquaker.org.

·   Your site will have the title, a menu bar, and not too much more.

·    Log in to your site by following the link on the top right of the page.

Take a tour!

Your meeting’s site will look pretty similar to the one shown below.  You can click the different menu items [on your actual meeting site, not here] but for the time being they are not very exciting. The site needs you to add content! 

As you can see, the homepage will be a place where you can tell both Quakers and Seekers everything you want them to know about your meeting at a glance.  It will also keep people in the loop about specific information and recent updates to your site.
